Now that's a class act!
Author: EH49

Here we have classic 60's paint scheme slightly revised and used by regional Lycoming Valley. Notice to keep that 60's look, they painted on the Class Lights! If that is not enough they kept the Class (yep, there's that word again) GP35, although it has been de-turbo'd and now rated at 2,000HP. Yes, that is really a class act my book. Reading never used the Bee Line logo on the GO35's or any 4 axel power for that matter. Still a job well done.

Pic. 1 was taken at West Tarentum, PA with it on a EB NS freight on 11-7. 
Pic. 2 was taken at Creighton, PA (about a half mile from Pic 1) on 11-18, again on a EB NS freight.

Makes wonder if NS is leasing this unit? Well, it gave me a chance to get both sides of the unit. Too me, trail does not always equal fail. I'll take these shots over none anyday!

No, it's not being leased by NS.

1700 is across the state. I would have liked to get the Reading heritage unit with it.

Caught this pair last winter in Williamsport PA. Sorry for the quality, did the best I could with my cell phone and location.
