The Reading Company Technical & Historical Society (RCT&HS) has acquired Reading EMD GP39-2 #3412 to add to its collection. The unit went to the D&H when Conrail was created and then finished its career on CSX.

Very cool!  Congrats to all that made it possible. 

how did csx get it from the d and h ?????

This is outstanding! bring her to the A&A for a run on a Reading branch.

All 20 former Reading went to CSX when the D&H disappeared

Awesome cannot wait to see it painted in my favorite Reading paint scheme.

Chessie System owned the locomotives, they were long-term leased to the Reading, and the lease passed to the D&H.
When CP bought the D&H they didn't want them so they were returned to CSX the successor to the Chessie System.

4317 shows as the old 3413, while 3412 became 4303...

Good to see it saved, but are we sure on the old identity?

That roster is incorrect.  The proof is in the paint.    The 3413 was repainted by the D&H as #7413 and later wore Guilford paint with the same number.  #3412 was green and yellow its entire career on the D&H and there are photos on the web of it in green and yellow as CSXT 4317.
