MPA 1506 |
| Description: |
This old Geep, now preserved at the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum, has quite a history. Built by EMD in 1953 as Reading Company 621, it was sold before Conrail to the Emons Industries controlled Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad, who first numbered it as 86, then as 1506. It was moved to service on the former Reading Perkiomen branch in 1998 after Emons had gained control of Penn Eastern Rail Lines a year earlier. Never operated on the Perk, it remained there after Penn Eastern became independent, following Genesee & Wyoming's purchase of Emons in 2002. Acquired by its present owner, the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society in 2008, it was subsequently moved to Hamburg from Emmaus over Norfolk Southern and Reading & Northern rails. It will one day be restored back to its original appearance of olive green and gold lettering and might be operated by the museum. |

RDG 2060 |
| Description: |
Former RDG 2060 is a good example of the upgrades done to the cars on certain upscale trains on the system. This car was part of the train "Schuylkill" and featured a small kitchen and cafe style area which was utilized during the train's trip between Philadelphia and Pottsville. The car was made into a full dining car in the 1960s and moved to the "Wall Street" run in the opposite direction out of Philly to the CNJ terminal at Jersey City, NJ. Retired in the 1970s and sold to become a diner, it was acquired by the museum in 2002 where it currently awaits restoration. |
