Reading 7601

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Brent Jackson	General	Reading had SD45s? I figured that those would be almost new in 1976, but that thing looks like a wreck.	1/27/2006 9:21:07 PM

K Mortens	General	Sure did! Got 'em in 1967. And as you can see from this picture, they were bi-directional.	10/14/2006 5:51:18 PM

Christopher Southwell	General	Was this image from a Bob Thamsen slide?	9/13/2008 5:05:53 PM

Bob Trevorah	General	They also had the cab windshield area extended 9 inches to accommodate the dual control stands. Reading had 5, and I remember 'em thundering upgrade through Tamaqua back in the day.	3/13/2010 8:40:53 PM
