RDG 4-6-0C #615 - Reading Co
Title:  RDG 4-6-0C #615 - Reading Co
Description:  Action shot of the 1915 4-6-0C ten wheeler camelback being prepped by a crew member for another passenger run. Built by the Reading shops, it was a class L-7 camelback, an odd but still interesting locomotive that allowed the Reading to burn less fuel efficient coal than the traditional locomotives. This appears to be an older reprint and didn't list the location, date or photographer.
