What's the difference between a GP40-2 and GP39-2? What year did the Reading dieselize? How many tracks were in Rutherford Yard? This board focuses on a discussion of questions or issues concerning the "prototype" Reading Company and its predecessors. While the aim of this board is to serve as a resource for prototype information for modeling purposes, general discussion and sharing of knowledge is also encouraged.

The present Port Kennedy passenger station was built in 1904.

Last I saw, it was in poor condition with holes in the roof. A case of demolition by neglect by the National Park Service.

you can't get to the Port Kennedy station now, it is in the middle of a super fund clean-up site.

Great pic taken by the Dad of my friend Warren Avis. His Dad, Lee, was a long time PRSL freight agent, who shot a lot of good footage in the 50's (Warren also worked for the PRSL). This is a G3 around 1955 or so, on the final leg of a PRSL Philly-to-Cape May/Wildwood train. They were leased by the PRSL as they could take a train form Philly to Wildwood, a little under 90 miles, without taking on water. They ran 10 to 15 cars, running the 46 miles non-stop from Haddonfield to Tuckahoe on 80 mph main line..the rest between 60 and 70. This is near Dennisville, below Tuckahoe. The train will split at Wildwood Jct and proceed to Wildwood with the connection travelling to Cape May. Rdg G3 and a nice, available-from-Rdg Modeler crossbuck!

Nice shot. JoannaBill, you seem to have a lot of nice slides. Do you ever get them printed? If so, where and how much does it cost? I have a couple dozen slides I would like scanned (or “digitized”) and at least 5 or 6 slides I want printed as 8 x10s. No one seems to process slides any more, just digital images.

I was looking into slides scanners, but they can get a little pricy and I won’t be money well spent because I have so few slides.

Thanks, Mark
