It was a few hours in Reading today (24/04/2021) to see what was going on and to test out a new lens for the camera. The many colours of Reading Buses were in full bloom in some lovely April sunshine.

GP30 5513 sits quietly along the Reading & Northern's recently acquired ex Reading trackage in North Reading PA-March 9, 1991.
The 5513 was built by EMD in March 1962 for the Reading Railroad as their 5513 but was renumbered into the C&O/B&O system's numbering scheme by the mid 1960s becoming the 3613 with hopes that the railroads would merge together at some point before the end of the decade. That merger never happened and the Reading was left adrift by it's parent road, B&O. The Reading's rail operations were merged into Conrail on April 1, 1976 with the 3613 becoming Conrail 2181. The unit worked for it's new owner for another 10 years before it was retired along with other GP30s and GP35s as Conrail sought to rid itself of all 567 powered locomotives. The Reading Technical & Historical Society stepped in and purchased the 2181 and restored it to it's as-delivered appearance. At the time of this slide (3/9/1991) the 5513 was being leased by the Reading & Northern as the R&N had recently expanded operations exponentially and found itself short of power.

Smoke at both ends – Celebrating the centennial of Souderton, Pennsylvania, Reading GP30 5513 is working to wheel the Souderton Railroad Days excursion past the Telford freight house. Providing the smoke on the other end of the train is Blue Mountain and Reading 4-6-2 425, drifting on the return leg of the trip.
One of the few shots taken of Wilts & Dorset buses - 1948 built Bristol K6b /ECW No.289 (FAM6) was attending a special run of London Trolley 260 at Reading on 8th.October 1967. The "London Transport" motif on the radiator is a nice touch - this was applied to new built buses transferred from Tilling fleets to LT - a temporary measure to cover shortages after the war.
