Steam & Excursion > Camelback "Steam" Locomotive in Lansdale, Pa TodayDate: 08/23/14 17:40 Camelback "Steam" Locomotive in Lansdale, Pa Today Author: RDG630 As part of Lansdale, Pa's Founders Day celebration the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society gave rides on its Reading Company A5a Class Camelback "locomotive". The vehicle which rides on the frame of a pickup truck has sound affects and always attracts a lot of attention.
