RDG 621 |
| Description: |
Reading Company 621 is a GP7, constructed as part of an order of sixteen units ordered from EMD by the railroad in the spring of 1953. This would be the largest order of these units acquired, the total number of GP7s operated being forty four. Number 621 came equipped with dynamic braking for freight service and served throughout the RDG system that stretched through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and a small part of Delaware. Unlike many of its sister units, the 621 would never make it to Conrail, having been sold off to Emmons controlled shortline Maryland & Pennsylvania a month before the official startup of Big Blue. Operated around York, PA for a little over twenty years, the locomotive would be reassigned to home rails along the Perkiomen Branch with the takeover of the Penn Eastern Rail Lines by Emmons in the late 1990s. Never operated on the Perk due to some mechanical issues the ex-RDG unit, by this time numbered as MPA 1506, was stored and soon acquired for preservation by the museum. It is currently the only member of the Reading's GP7 fleet in preservation, although a few more exist in operation of various shortlines around the country. Like many GP series units from the 1950s, the 621 is set up for long hood forward operation. |

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. |
