Title:  CR 6761 Waits in Anticipation of Preservation
Description:  C630 no. 6761 may be whitelined, but unlike its roster mates, it's not being chopped up into razor blades. Instead, it has been acquired by the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society, who will restore it back to its original green and yellow livery with loco no. 5308. Note also the Tuscan Pennsy E-unit in the background. Unknown photographer, from the Ralph L. Phillips collection of the Bay State Model Railroad Museum.
