RDG Alco RS3 #487 - Reading Co |
| Description: |
Built by Alco in June of 1952 (prime mover #12813), it served the Reading Company until the sale to Conrail in 1976. Not sure of its disposition, possibly scrapped or sold even before 1976 as it doesn't appear on the Conrail roster. A note on the back by photographer Paul Kuehner states "RDG RS3 487 - a yard drill." |

RDG Alco C430 #5212 - Reading Co |
| Description: |
Although hidden by the platform, this loco has the distinction of wearing a plaque labeled "Old Ironsides II", apparently in honor of the first steam locomotive built by Baldwin. This is one of only two built on AAR trucks. Does anyone know an explanation for the name plate and truck oddities??? Paul Kuehner photo |
