Rob - What is the best route to hike in there without trespassing. Any issue with roving, trouble making civilians?

Here is a line of HTwa hoppers, with an extension for Sugar hauling, taken at Port Richmond.

Klapperthal Junction can be accessed easily by hiking the rails back from the Schuylkill River trail (which passes underneath the mainline about a mile east of the junction). Note: This is not to be confused with the Thun Trail, which is the old Pennsy line that passes over the Reading tracks at Titus. It was my favorite place to take train photos when I was a kid during the 80s. The rock outcropping in the background of Rob’s photo # DSCN1625 was my “spot” for catching action on the curve. I spent many summer days at Klapperthal waiting for trains. It’s sad to see the rails that service Titus power plant turning into rust.

Here is RDG 626 on CR-17, from Lancaster arriving in Reading Yard on 3/30/1976. Note how the late day lighting gives the faded yellow paint an orange tint.

Here are 2, nearly new GP-35's at East Penn Junction on 8/22/64. From the Houser Collection.

They look like a pair of Kato units fresh out of the box!
