Thanks for posting!!

Same thing at many other RDG and PRR locations, Cove for example.

That’s not housing, it’s a monstrosity of a warehouse going up. The entire area has been changed over the past ten years from rolling fields to warehouses. With that comes increased truck and auto traffic beating up local roads and seriously cutting into the ability to chase a train along the west end of the Reading line. Dan Posted from iPhone |
