Eastern Railroad Discussion > A Pup on the Reading & NorthernDate: 08/19/14 06:25 A Pup on the Reading & Northern Author: RDG630 Came across R&N SW8m #803 (ex-Lehigh Valley 270)working the Schuylkill Division (ex-PPR Schuylkill Valley Branch) at Temple, Pa. yesterday. The engine is seen pushing ballast hoppers south across Tuckerton Road with a caboose acting as a shoving platform for the reverse move.

   Date: 08/19/14 06:42 Re: A Pup on the Reading & Northern Author: mjbobb Are there any customers left on the line to Hamburg? Last I knew there were cars stored on it.

Did they re-open the damaged bridge over Maiden Creek and resume a connection to Hamburg? The last I heard was the Reading Company museum (RCT&HS) was no longer accessed and that the track was being used for car storage as noted in the above post. The branch sure went downhill in a hurry right after R&N won the award for hauling rock to NJ and back-hauling sand to the quarry just west of the damaged bridge Gonut.

Date: 08/19/14 13:01 Re: A Pup on the Reading & Northern Author: RDG630 I think the bridge has been reopened but I am not certain at the momment
Date: 08/19/14 14:20 Re: A Pup on the Reading & Northern Author: jim6300loco I heard it was restored also. How else would they have moved the stored cars
off the line Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/19/14 14:22 by jim6300loco. Date: 08/19/14 17:25 Re: A Pup on the Reading & Northern Author: JJSmith I can confirm that the Maiden Creek Bridge has been repaired and is now open. There are also several customers on the line shipping by rail as far north as Leesport.
