RDG 485 |
| Description: |
The Reading Railroad Heritage Museum has one of the last remaining Reading Company Alco RS-3 locomotives, built in 1952 at the plant in Schenectady, NY. Originally assigned to the Reading's Rutherford yard near Harrisburg to replace steam, this locomotive worked diligently in freight service before being retired from the railroad's roster in 1973 and sold up north to a company in Montreal, Canada. The unit was acquired by the RCT&HS from a private leasing company in 1993. It last worked as a switcher for Domtar Packaging of Red Rock, Ontario as their number 68. Seen still wearing the faded Domtar paint scheme. |

RCTH 485 |
| Description: |
Former Reading RS3 485 arrived on the railroad in 1952 in an effort by the company to begin the process of replacing coal burning steam locomotives with cleaner and more efficient diesels. The Alco RS3s could be found in both freight and passenger service around the system, the 485 usually assigned to the western end freight operations. Its current paint scheme tells of its later life working in Canada, first for the Roberval & Saguenay and later for an Ontario paper company. It is currently one of five of the thirty three units purchased to survive in the 21st century and one of two in Pennsylvania. We had the opportunity to see sister unit 467 on display at Steamtown the previous weekend. |
