Nostalgia & History > ID Help please - ex Reading RDC'sDate: 08/28/16 08:08 ID Help please - ex Reading RDC's Author: johnmday This photo surfaced - in a bus group, as it includes a delectable Scenicruiser. The RDC's are Readings - but we surmise ex-Reading. The letterboard on the RDC-1 appears to have the word "Mountain" on it. Any clues as to location, railroad, date - and what the bus was doing there would be appreciated.

Location could possibly be Port Clinton, PA.

You can see the former Pennsy right of way to Pottsville PA above the roof lines of the RDC's. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/28/16 12:24 by boejoe.
