Enola was always a mess,conrail would close the hump,send the work to allentown,get bogged down then reopen the Enola hump. They have been looking at closing Allentown for years,same as Enola.

Work is underway on a book of either the RDG FM H-24-66 or the class K-1 2-10-2. Which one would you like to see first? These would be similar to the Ben Bernhart format,like the RDG G- class publication.

If anybody cares,talks are underway for property in Reading,Pa. which includes some very interesting sites,for the new, Reading transportation museum.

When I hired in 1990 on conrail as a Brakeman,one of my early trips on the road was Mail 44. The Engineer had me take over the train south of Reading and run all the way to Morrisville.

Interesting stuff. That 807 mystery bugs me,we want to do a book on the Rdg trainmasters and 807 is a major missing link. I would hate to find out information after the book comes out ,wish somebody could help. Did Striegel scrap units too?or mostly sell/lease them ? Thanks Bob

DAVE H. or anybody,Did the Rdg 807 that went to Striegel equipment go to the CNJ or Mexico? I was told 807 went to keep the Cnj units running but what about the carbody? Any info welcomed!

We would hope to see some sort of important RDG locomotive displayed in Reading,Pa.......someday.

Any body care to work on getting 2101 home?
