EMD SD50 Reading & Northern

Description
The EMD SD50 was introduced in May 1981 as part of EMD's 50 Series and built until 1986. The locomotive was released as another attempt to provided a higher-horsepower model to keep pace with General Electric's increasing competition and its C36-7 model, that offered more power than the SD40-2. Unfortunately, EMD rushed the SD50 into production and it not only suffered mechanical problems but also did irreparable damage to the company's reputation as a respectable locomotive builder. Interestingly, after these issues were corrected the locomotive did prove to be quite reliable and today many remain in use on Class I systems.

Included in this package are paint schemes of the following railroads:
- Reading & Northern
- Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway

could you possibly make a collection with all of your mods and link it in each one you release so we can find them all a little easier?

I am not sure if anyone that downloaded this or is a fan of the RBMN has heard the news or not but they have decided to close the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway due to the Mayor and Borough bringing a lawsuit to make them pay an "Amusement tax" which would end up being $100,000. So Andy Muller, has decided to close the Scenic Railway as of November 25, 2019.

This is NOT the end of scenic excursions. Rather rides will no longer originate from Jim Thorpe.

You can read about it here in their press release:

So I will keep the LGSR skin as is, since it will be serving as a historical piece

SHINY IS SUPER

The only issue I have with this is the end date: these are still the primary motive power of the Reading & Northern to the point where even LGSR 426 has been painted back into green.

Great to see my local railroad finally represented in TF. I actually looked into trying to texture models myself because I wanted an R&N SD40.

@Traincrazee906 - It was late because of all the passing freight. When the steam program was running (no longer is) Freight took priority. We got held up mostly in Pittston before heading into Jim Thorpe but it worked out because our lunch was delivered at the same point. To be honest, I think the FWRHS handles their excursions better than the VMT does with 611. Everything was very well planned, they even arranged for transport to the railyard for boarding. It was definitely my favorite excursion I ever rode. (and I have only been behind 765 once in my lifetime).

@Traincrazee906 - Partially true. It wasn't out of water though. They pre-arranged with the local firedepartment to get water shortly after it would leave Jim Thorpe due to the location of the hydrant. But no, it was not out of water. The FWRHS just planned for it that way since it would be riskier to get water later heading into Allentown (which was another 3hrs)
