Remarks & Notes

Reading Camelback #1187 sits in storage pending the railroad's decision on her fate. Once active at the Strasburg, the engine was moved to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania when her time ran out. Strasburg moved it back some years back with an eye towards rebuilding her but no firm decision has yet been reached. She's a side project that in all likelihood will be restored cosmetically as she's too small for Strasburg's needs outside of what would make for interesting power leading the mixed train.

A collection of engines, cabooses, cars, etc., great and small that are past their prime, but represent a spirit of railroading that will never pass away!!
