A few highlights from the past two months
Author: beertrain

Pic 1 is the 911 unit trailing westbound through Bowers, PA.
Pic 2 is the Conrail unit leading just east of Fleetwood, PA.
Pic 3 is a different angle of a westbound over Rockville Bridge.

Pic 4 is the LV unit heading east over Rockville Bridge
Pic 5 is a shot of the Pagoda in Reading, PA.
Pic 6 is a shot of Reading Yard taken from atop the Pagoda.  Only $1.00 to take the tour on a Sunday afternoon.

Pic 7 looks like the McDonalds Private Car going through Allentown Yard
Pic 8 is a westbound coming through Alburtis, PA

That's all for now.  Thanks for looking.

In the pic from the pagoda, are those railroad shops?   Reading?  now NS?   If so, what kind of shop?

Those were the RDG shops.  Large taller building in the back is the loco shop while the lower building in the foreground was the freight car shops.  Building to the left was the passenger car shop.  Also where the Conrail business cars were kept until moved to Altoona.  Only the loco shop is still partially used as a warehouse for a local Plumbing supply Co. Yeager Supply.

Many smaller buildings have been torn down over the years.

Nice I was at the old Reading shops in 1988... They had a lot of old cabbesse there.  Where the shops open right up to Conrail?

I believe they may have remained open a bit into Conrail, but not very long.

Nice shots Andy!
