Built by the Reading shops in 1906, this is an example of the I2-e class with its small 50" drivers. It developed 175 psi boiler pressure to use in its 20"x24" cylinders. It's overall engine weight was 154,500 lb and it could generate a modest 28,560 lb tractive effort. Mac Miller photo |

RDG 2-8-0 #765 - Philadelphia & Reading |
| Description: |
Here is another example of the 1906 I2-e class Consolidation built by the Reading shops. Again, small 50" drivers, 175 psi boiler pressure, small 20"x24" cylninders and an overall tractive effort of 28,560 lb made it a very modest performer but not able to handle the longer, heavier trains that appeared later. Date is approximate. Forrest W. Trittenbach photo. |

Here is a sister to RDG 972 also appearing in this album. Built by the Reading shops in 1898, it was a member of the I7-a class. Note the Reading YMCA building in the upper right corner of the picture - handy location for the railroad crews! |

RDG 2-8-0 #1580 Camelback - Philadelphia & Reading |
| Description: |
Lined up with others in a storage line, this camelback Consolidation awaits its fate. Built in 1905, it had 61"5" drivers and generated an impressive 210 psi but that still couldn't save it from being scrapped. The day in 1939 is approximate. No photographer was listed on the back of this photo. |
