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.

Here's a covered hopper, one the more obscure classes of cars. They were leased from ACF

I'll get a few more Coatesville Freight House for Johncoaltrain one of these days.

This one's for Tom. In the 70's 94054 was the regular cabin on the Fifth Street job, which was the shifter on the West Reading Branch downtown.
