Thanks, that link worked. There was a coal trestle similar to that one (might be the same one) near where the old PRR line passed under Main street, near the flag company. I used to walk out on it as a kid. The reading Passenger station was very near where I lived until I was 5. We lived a few homes down from Brown's Mill on Furnace St and then moved to Main St. Amorcast was behind our house there.
