Take a ride on the Reading
Title:  Take a ride on the Reading
Description:  Even if it looks like SEPTA!! This ex Reading FP 7 was a hand me down to SEPTA when it took over the commuter service from Reading in the 70s. Now it sits at Strasburg awaiting restoration to its former glory as Reading 902.

Diesels too
Title:  Diesels too
Description:  Though these two are remarkable in that they represent two of the four FP 7s owned by Reading, and a unit that was a minority among the hordes of F 7s produced. Readings paint scheme is really attractive on this pair. For the steam fans, T 1 2124, a veteran of the well known Rambles, sits behind.
