<description><![CDATA[I remember as a kid in the 60's, seeing the trains rolling up the Bethlehem branch and returning with the same set of power that day, heading back to Philly with another manifest. And since I lived next to the branch, I seen it more than enough to back you on their practices. Even ore extra's went back to philly with something. Once in awhile, they did return light though. From what I remember, It was a suprize to see different power roll down later that day with a train. Time wise for the retur]]></description>

<title>Sorry about that!</title>

<description><![CDATA[My sincere apologies for the inappropriate post by an automated, non-railfan &#34;bot.&#34;  The site gets bombarded daily with member registrations from &#34;bots,&#34; who are sent by foreign websites to try to post ads to forums.  Most of the time they do not complete the registration process and simply fade away, but one apparently got through.  He's been &#34;given indefinite suspension&#34; and won't be returning to the rails anytime soon.  I've also deleted the topic.

Thanks Barr]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I believe the at the Reading converted several XMu and XMy boxcars to express boxcars.  The XMu's were numbered 1850 to 1874 according to my information.  Does anyone know how the XMy's were numbered?  Has anyone seen any pictures of these cars? :?:]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The space I have for a layout is a 36'x24' basement. I will be modeling in o guage. Thats as far as my plan has come so far. I just moved into this house 8 months ago so things are still in the planning phase.

Will you be modeling 0 2-rail or 3-rail Hi-rail.  Since I partner in a dispaly layout with Hi-rail using Gargraves Track perhaps I could provide some hints and tips.  Dave]]></description>

<title>Caboose cupola Grab Irons?</title>
<link>http://www.readingmodeler.com/modules.php?name=Forums&amp;file=viewtopic&amp;p=209#209</link>
<description><![CDATA[during the 1950s, were the grab irons on the cupola painted roof brown, or yellow? I imagine sometime during late 50s or early 60s they were mandated to be yellow for safety, but did this apply to them, and when? The pictures in the Reading Caboose book look to be roof brown in some, but the only ones looking yellow are later 60s, so i can't be sure..]]></description>

<title>Best book on the reading railroad</title>
<link>http://www.readingmodeler.com/modules.php?name=Forums&amp;file=viewtopic&amp;p=179#179</link>
<description><![CDATA[As far as historical reference goes. Probaby the eminent publication on the Reading is the two volume book set by James Holton called &#34;The Readng Railroad: History of a Coal Age Empire&#34;. They were published in the early 90's and are out of print. The first book you can still find in various places: ebay, etc. The second book is much harder to come by.

Aside from that, because of the amount of historical texts it would be a daunting task to list them all.]]></description>

<title>Perkiomen Branch Mixed train</title>
<link>http://www.readingmodeler.com/modules.php?name=Forums&amp;file=viewtopic&amp;p=172#172</link>
<description><![CDATA[Here I go again with a question about obscure branch line operations on the RDG!  According to the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the NRHS's book, Railroads of the Lehigh River Valley, passenger traffic on the Perkiomen branch degenerated into a mixed train before being axed in the mid-50's.  Does anyone have pictures of this operation?  If not, is anyone aware of the equipment used?  I'm guessing that power was a single RS-3, GP-7, or AS-16.  I'm also guessing that passenger accomodations consisted o]]></description>
