RMDI

[GN 599]

I understand they are a company in the locomotive business in PA but what does their initials stand for. What locomotives do they have right now. How does a person contact them.

Using the internet search engine, here's what I found.

RMDI stands for Ronald M Delivan Industries in Pittston, PA., half way between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre PA.

Entering RMDI in a phone search gave me this:

Rmdi
Coxton Rd
Duryea, PA 18642 Phone: (570) 603-0565

Business Types: Heavy Construction, Railroad Contractors

Ah thanks

Just a bit of additional info. RMDI has no locos, in the Railway Equipment Registry, including locos, so they must contract repair only. Also, they work out of the old LVRR roundhouse, at Packerton (pittston) yard, at Pittston, Pa. Easy to find, on any LVRR system map, or mapquest, etc., Regards

RMDI/BDLX has many old GE's in various states of disrepair on the property. They have had ex NJT U34CH's, NS U23B's, NS B23-7's, NS B30-7A's, CR B23-7's, NS C32-8's (all scrapped except the one leased/sold to JCMX) L&N U25B 1616 etc. BDLX also has ex NS GP40 1355 and SD40's. They are NOT railfan friendly and pic taking on their property is not allowed.

Do they actually own the L&N 1616?

I was up at RMDI a few times doing some contract repair work on a Trackmobile and there were some 70 odd locomotives on the property. I have a copy of the loco list that showed which locos were on the property and their location.
Interesting setup they have there.

Wish I had some 70 odd locomotives on my property.

I am afraid that Ron Delevan has had so many locomotive parts "liberated" by rail buffs and thieves, that he is not able to tolerate anyone being on the property without permission. Also, I'm sure liability issues come into play.
He's quite a nice guy to know, and I'm sure he doesn't like restricting the area, but, business is business.

[GN 599]

Cant say I blame him. I would like to know where stuff that people steal ends up. Theives piss me off. That is the crazy thing about this hobby is people stealing and saying they "found it".

Can you PM the list since I live near RMDI.
