Nice Ex Reading 3416!!!

Just a technical and historical point, notice the green patch-out on the cab and green/yellow stripe patchout on the nose. That's to cover another patch-out because the engine is ex-D&H; nee originally Reading. IINM, it was 316 on Reading and D&H re-numbered it 7316. Later CSX numbered it 4316 to avoid confusion with others of it's units at the time. D&H got it in the Conrail deal back in 1976 and put their script "The D&H" inside the black Reading diamond logo on nose & cab sides.

@ChamplainDivision Dang, thanks for all that info. I saw that paint job and the first thing i thought of was the Katy (MKT). Guess not.

This is cool! I'm guessing it was pulling out at Grand Rapids?

[brimac70]

I can't believe the RDG paint scheme survived that long, that was a great catch!

[tsinoms]

Do you have any more amtrak stuff?

[mygirl22ward]

[tsinoms]

Still I would love to see em.... Can never get enough of those F40's pulling Amtrak.

@rsinoms Actually after watching a newer vid it's actually P373. Ran weekends if I remember and left at 9:30.

The route almost looks abandoned

[mygirl22ward]

It was in the middle of weed season, and this part by the station is not the CSX main line.....
