Eastern Railroad Discussion > Wanamaker, Kempton and Southern (PA)

The Wanamaker, Kempton and Southern is  a 5 mile long remnant of a former Reading Railroad branch line that radiated out from Reading, PA in a northeast direction through beautiful farmland.  A presrvationist group of volunteers maintains the line and the former Reading Railroad stations and freight stations at Wanamakers and at Kempton, PA.  They occasionally run a train over the line and such was the case today.  This operation is off the beaten track but well worth a visit.
