RDG GP7 #610 - Reading Co |
| Description: |
Reading GP7 #610 sits across the turntable at the Saucon Reading Yard in Bethlehem, PA. Built by EMD in May of 1953 (serial #18410), the unit served the Reading until it was eventually merged into Conrail in 1976. This loco is new to the RRPA data base. The photo is by Paul Kuehner. I believe this roundtable was salvaged in 2002 and may be part of the Reading RR Heritage Museum in Hamburg, PA. Can anyone confirm this? |

Here is a long distance shot of Reading GP7 #626 & 631. According to the note on the back by photographer Paul Kuehner, the pair are returning from local switching run. Note the coal hoppers in the foreground - the product of the St Nicholas coal breaker. This breaker (coal processing plant for crushing and sorting) was at one time the largest breaker in the world but closed in 1965 and partially dismantled. |
