ALLEN Date: 11/23/17 23:50 Re: Reading Company RDC's Author: Chooch I was born and raised in the City of Philadelphia and as so thought I knew the city pretty well but now I'm stumped. Where exactly is or was FRANKLIN Station? Even the buildings nearby don't look familiar. Could this have been a location that parallels the Schuylkill River at the old B&O station across the river from the now 30th St station? Thanks for any help.

Chris Bost Leesport, PA Date: 11/26/17 11:06 Re: Reading Company RDC's Author: King_Coal More good memories! Keep it up. The RDC on the right is probably a Pottsville shuttle, IIRC. The one on the left is heading to Philly.
