Nostalgia & History > Classic commuter carsDate: 04/22/24 06:57 Classic commuter cars Author: thebluecomet A few Reading Company commuter MU cars at the Wayne Jct. shops in Philadelphia PA.
1. Several, probably out of service, cars including a combination car. August 31, 1975. 2. From 1984 with Septa now running things.   Date: 04/22/24 07:44 Re: Classic commuter cars Author: PasadenaSub Great photos and look back at the older cars.

I'm not sure exactly what, but they did some heavy maintenance in the Reading Shops although Wayne Electric could probably do almost anything to maintain them.
