Are there any members who are familiar with the Reading & Columbia Br. customers in the town of Ephrata during the late 50's and early 60'? I was born and raised there and am including it on an HO layout. Looking for photos of the cattle pens at Fulton St., the coal and building material business that was on State St. east of Fulton St., Martin's Mill north of town, the town's power plant and the tool & die business on Pine St. across the tracks from the power plant. Any sources of information that might include photos would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
