Nicely done Harry! That GP38 looks good in that Reading-inspired paint scheme. In fact, the PRSL's original paint scheme on their first diesels (Baldwins) was a Reading green. However later they went to basic black which is what that GP38 would have worn in its PRSL days. I wonder what the story is on that old RS-1 seen at the 5:00 mark? Considering what they're capable of it wouldn't surprise me if SMS is considering a restoration on it. And don't you HATE the electronic bells on some of those grade crossings? Yuck! Thanks for posting!
Thank you for your continued support Wayne! As mentioned previously by someone else, the RS-1 at Mannington is privately owned, and was built in December 1948 as Washington Terminal 59. It ran on the Tioga Central for a while before being acquired by the now somewhat defunct Southern Railroad Company of New Jersey. Apparently in the 2000s the locomotive suffered a cab fire, set by vandals while in storage in Salem, NJ.
@@EastPennRailfanProductions It's always a pleasure when you post Harry! Keep up the good work and thanks for the background on that RS-1. It'll probably never be restored at this point unless it's sold to someone with the wherewithal to make it happen. Aside from that I see a future date with the scrapper after being used as a parts donor. Too bad.
Great catches and awesome video
Happy Easter from our family to yours
THE WOODYTOWN!

The RS-1 is privately owned SMS can't restore it
@@mlpderick Well, I guess that's that. Thanks for the response!

Looks close to the NHN paint scheme.
