MTH PREMIER F-7 READING AND NORTHERN A-UNIT RD # 270 W/PS-3 PATSTRAINS EXCLUSIVE

These diesel electric engines, commonly referred to as “F-Units”, have a heritage dating back to the early 1950’s. The F-7a numbers 250 and 251 were originally on the Bessemer Lake Erie in western, PA into the early 1990’s. Eventually, they were sold to the Southern Railroad of New Jersey. The Reading & Northern purchased the units in the spring of 2017. They are currently awaiting work at the engine shop in Port Clinton. The 270 and 275 were rebuilt approximately 15 years ago by Norfolk Southern Railroad at their Altoona, PA engine shops for executive train travel on the NS system. The 270 was originally built for Baltimore & Ohio, and the 275 for Chicago Great Western. By late 2019, NS auctioned the engines and the Reading & Northern became their new home. The two diesels, F-9a number 270 and F-7b number 275, were received by R&N in late December of 2019, where they were repainted in a new R&N paint scheme.
