?? RDG 4-6-2 #108 - a Mystery
Title:  ?? RDG 4-6-2 #108 - a Mystery
Description:  Although labeled on the back as RDG #108, this locomotive doesn't totally match its sisters in a number of ways, most notably the streamlining and headlight type and placement. The number board in front does look like a class G1-sa Reading and although the tender marking is unreadable, it does seem to match the height and length of others in the class. A Baltimore & Ohio unit sits behind this loco but it doesn't match any in their livery. Date is approximate. H.M. Kniffen photo. Can anyone help with this loco's true identity?
