The Reading Company also had Suburban Locomotives, used primarily on the several commuter lines which spread out from Reading Terminal at 12th & Market in Center City Philadelphia. Unfortunately, in comparison with the Canadian National's version, which I think, even in its "scruffy "condition is quite handsome, and as a lover of camelbacks that many other people feel are rather ugly, the Reading Company Class Q1C 2-6-4T as built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, and illustrated here by RDG #376 were truly steam locomotives that only a mother could love!

I mean ... It looks to me that it backed into something at speed!
Thank God that the Reading eventually put all those commuter lines "under the wire!"
