Taking a Ride on the REAL Reading

Share Your Prototype Photos

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.

Mitch from Maine OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 136 Thank you received: 17	the yellow and green RS3's are just so funky! (494 was leased on the PRSL for a good part of 1974, too)...somehow the tiny nose herald and ALL the grimed-up louvers make it begged to be modeled totally grimed up as only an Alco can get!

Mitch from Maine OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 136 Thank you received: 17	many, countless thank you's!!! I saw it once or twice-they'd assign it to various jobs out of Pavonia-only once did I se it at full sail, on ex-Rdg rails at that, right through at 40 or so with a good sized local, headed back to the barn on short time as usual... would you mind if I copy the file into my own photo file for personal use???I'll swap you PRSL Baldwins if you'd like...

Here's a line-up of every variation of fresh and faded Rdg yellow and green-ready to get loaded with rolls of insulation at the Owens Corning plant in Barrington NJ on the PRSL. Even thought the Rdg owned 1/3 of the PRSL, both Rdg and PRR-PC charged the PRSL full car hire charges.. so they made sure the PRSL almost always lost money on paper-and..got the tax write off on the car hire owed by its own subsidiary! PRSL never owned a revenue freight car-all supplied by PRR/PC or Rdg...
