GUARANTEED DELIVERY

As World War II was drawing to a close in 1945, the Reading Railroad examined their existing roster of motive power and realized they did not own any of the “Super-Power” steam locomotives that most all other railroads owned and operated. The decision to obtain some of these locomotives was paramount, but with the “wartime restrictions” still in place the Reading had to look to their existing fleet for conversion.

So the Reading started the “in-house” conversion of 30 of these locomotives to a new class and the Super-power T1 4-8-4 was born. The Reading shops started delivering the T1 in the late summer of 1945, ending deliveries in 1947. In freight service, the T1’s made the Reading proud, as they comprised the “Fast Freight” position that the railroad needed to meet the increased post war demands that now faced the entire nation.
