News update- Reading Company Technical & Historical Society's RDG GP35 3640 rolled out on to the mainline of the Reading & Northern's Schuylkil branch under her own power on Saturday. The locomotive made a round trip from Leesport to Temple and then a roundtrip to Glen. The locomotive performed flawlessly. All major systems were tested and found to be working correctly. The RDG NW2 #103 accompanied the 3640 on its maiden voyage, but only supplied power to test the 3640's dynamic brakes. Next step is prep work for painting and some minor piping replacement. A large part of the labor to restore this locomotive back to service was furnished by our group of teenage and early 20's volunteers. A great big thank you goes out to all who helped so far with the restoration. Why not come out and lend a hand on Saturdays at Leesport or if that is not possible would you care to make a financial contribution towards the cost of painting the locomotive? http://www.readingrailroad.org/home.htm#index http://www.readingrailroad.org/home.htm#index mtillger@enter.net |
