Nostalgia & History > RDG TrainmastersDate: 11/06/06 13:15 RDG Trainmasters Author: RDG630 Always been partial to the Reading's FM Trainmasters as I had my first ever cab ride in #803 when it was just a week old. The locomotive was used to push a coal train powered by an A-B-A set of F7's up the Locust Summit grade from Gordon to Locust Summit, Pa in 1953. Can still hear the purrr of 2400 horses.
