Posted by kp5308 on Wed May 2 20:55:33 2012, in response to Brand-new Reading Company RDCs at Bethlehem PA (1962), posted by Olog-hai on Wed May 2 03:01:41 2012. Note the cars in the photo are connected to "house" steam heat....you can see the connection right below the pilot. They went on display right after delivery in December 1962 to promote the new cars & improved service.Reading Tech has 2 in their collection. 9162, shot at Leesport PA in 2006:  And the last RDC built: 9152, shot at the RCT&HS Museum in Hamburg PA last year:  I grew up meeting these cars down at Franklin St. station in Reading on a regular basis. BTW Franklin St. is making a comback. Restoration is expected to be completed sometime in 2013. This view was taken in March of this year:  |
