The last time I was at the museum was 18 1/2 years ago. Back then I think they had a BB2 (?) electric loco out in the yard? Was it ever restored or still there? Outside of the GG1, are there any other electrics there? Have to go back now my kids are all grown up!

Thanks, Bob. I think I got model numbers all screwed up. If that's the only one they have then I saw it in pretty bad shape in 1991 outside near the Reading turntable. I have a photo but not sure I can get it on here.

GP30 wasn't there yet but the GP9 was. Ex PRR unit I believe. Didn't look too bad in 1991 when I saw it. Thanks for sharing the pics. I have quite a few photos from 91 ...just have to get them transferred to the cmmputer here somehow.

Has there been any work done with the ex PC Metroliner they have? If I were to visit the museum, how accessible is it?

Last time I was there I believe that was still outside in the yard. Visibility is good but I couldn't get too close. When I was there they were working on the Reading 800 Harlan & Hallinsworth MU.
