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.

Gary L OFFLINE Apprentice Posts: 9 Thank you received: 4	The RDC probably dropped off Reading Company employees who worked in the shops. They came down from the Pottsville area using a company pass. Don't know how many would have still been working in '79 but during the Reading quite a few would make the trip every day. Gary L

MarkFJ OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 227 Thank you received: 39	Ok. How about a camelback? This is an I-8 at Erie Avenue in Philadelphia. Taken 6-23-47 by Eugene Witt. I bought this photo (and a couple others) at a trainshow in Atlantic City sometime in the early 80s. Notice the screen resting aside of the stack. Is that for spark suppression? Neat detail to add to a model!

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	Mark - That's a great shot of an I-8. I have no doubt that the screen is the 1940's version of a Spark Arrestor. Good old PA Dutch ingenuity.
