What's the difference between a GP40-2 and GP39-2? What year did the Reading dieselize? How many tracks were in Rutherford Yard? This board focuses on a discussion of questions or issues concerning the "prototype" Reading Company and its predecessors. While the aim of this board is to serve as a resource for prototype information for modeling purposes, general discussion and sharing of knowledge is also encouraged.

Although not a train photo, this truck is part of the Reading. This image might have been a publicity photo taken for the Reading Lines Transportation Company (it looks somewhat “staged” with those cars so neatly arranged in the background). The source of the photo is hankstruckpictures.com. Another point of interest is that the Lindbergh viaduct, which is the setting for the photo, still looks the same thanks to a relatively recent restoration of the span.
According to Vol 2 of the Reading Railroad by James Holten, the Transportation Company was actually a profitable part of the Reading system.  |

Not sure who took this or where it was taken. It's a neat photograph.

 Do all RDG covered hoppers in this assigned service carry this blue end panel? One or both ends? Yes, an eBay photo. Francis A. Pehowic, Jr. Sunbury, Pa. |
