Reading train arriving Allentown

Eastbound KYLE train ready to depart Goodland led by one of few KYLE units to get this paint scheme and maybe only big GE.

The LS&I currently has four sets of CEFX AC4400CWs, plus a pair of U30Cs (3000 & 3009) and a pair of C30-7s (3073 & 3074) in regular service. Here, the U30C pair (possibly the last active U30s in ... (more)
