RDG FP7A's With Old Rivets |
| Description: |
My old Reading friends are here at Strasburg, and I needed this picture. It's seen here with the original 4800. A shame; such a proud engine reduced to a shell covered in ugly black, left to reduce into a pile of rusted metal. I say the museum should take better care of this engine. |
