IHC Premier M9861 Reading Class G-3 4-6-2 Semi-Streamliner Pacific Locomotive #210

The introduction of the 4-6-2 design in 1901 has been described as "a veritable milestone in locomotive progress" On many railways worldwide, Pacific steam locomotives provided the motive power for express passenger trains throughout much of the early to mid-20th century, before either being superseded by larger types in the late 1940s and 1950s, or replaced by electric or diesel-electric locomotives during the 1950s and 1960s. Nevertheless, new Pacific designs continued to be built until the mid-1950s.

Built by the Reading shops in 1948, the G-3 Class of Pacifics were the last 4-6-2s, and last steamers, built by, or for, the Reading. Numbered 210-219, they were all retired on the same date in 1957. The G-3s did feature skirting along the boiler walkways.
