RBMN 3300

An eclectic mix of power, for sure

Unfortunately this shot failed to capture 2398's cab, but it does give one of the better views that I got of 3300 during the NRHS Convention, as it wasn't there for show and had to hurry on its way without being uncoupled for us to get a better look.

While we were waiting for our Reading & Northern excursion at West Leesport during the 1995 NRHS Convention, we also got to see this Reading & Northern freight, which at least had second generation diesel power on it, number 2398, a U23B and 3300, a U33C.

This was where we picked up our Reading & Northern excursion train at the NRHS National Convention, led by a matching set of Reading EMD FP7s that had just been restored. Here's a shot of our train pulling in, headed by the FP7s, with a Reading and Northern freight on the adjacent track.
