Last Operating ALCO Century 630 - Rare Mileage & Bee Line Service Explained
On May 9, 2009, the RCT&HS ran excursion trains featuring Reading C630 5308 and NW2 103, where we'll follow along and talk about Reading's innovative Bee Line Service. Reading 5308 is the last American built ALCO Century 630 operating in the United States. MLW variants still exist in operating condition as well. 5308 wears the "Bee Line Service" scheme, restored into such by the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society in 1987.

None remain in service today or have been pr...

    I know I’m way late but, how do you figure out the signal names on this line? As far as I know, timetables of this “subdivision” are incredibly hard to find or nonexistent, as are NEC timetables. Great video nonetheless!

    I'm not sure exactly when the last boilers were cut over to Natural Gas but it was around 2019-2020 and since then all coal Eastman receives is used for plastic feedstock not power generation. They use the carbon in the coal for plastic instead of petroleum for almost all of the products they make there. Great video!
