RDG 2-10-0 #1129 - Philadelphia & Reading |
| Description: |
This is one of only four Decapods built for the Reading by Baldwin in 1916. It was a J-1sa class with small 52" drivers, generating 180 psi in boiler pressure for its 25"x28" cylinders. The engine wt was 208,400 lb and it was able to produce a respectable tractive effort of 51,490 lb. After realizing that the Decapod just didn't fit the Reading motive needs, all four were scrapped in March of 1935. Date is approximate. Bud Laws photo |

| Description: |
Here is another example of the 1906 I2-e class Consolidation built by the Reading shops. Again, small 50" drivers, 175 psi boiler pressure, small 20"x24" cylninders and an overall tractive effort of 28,560 lb made it a very modest performer but not able to handle the longer, heavier trains that appeared later. Date is approximate. Forrest W. Trittenbach photo. |

| Description: |
Fair quality photo of the cute Reading 0-6-0T #1251 yard goat built by the Reading Shops in 1918. This little tank loco served until retirement in 1963. It eventually ended up in the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania where it sits in shining restored condition. According to their website, this little tyke was the last standard-gauge steam locomotive in daily operation on a class one railroad in the United States. |

RDG 2-8-2 #1700 |
| Description: |
This was the original experimental Mikado-type locomotive built by the Reading shops in 1912 to test the 2-8-2 configuration. The loco had 61.5" diameter drivers, 24" x 32" cylinders, and a 215 psi boiler pressure. It exerted 54,772 pounds of tractive effort and it weighed 329,310 pounds. The firebox was 326 square feet, the evaporative heating surface was 4,224 square feet and with the superheater the combined heating surface was 5,217 square feet. The design of this 2-8-2 which was given road number 1700 was deemed to be a success leading to futher Mikados on Reading's roster. No photographer was listed for this nice action shot. |
