Taking a Ride on the REAL Reading

Share Your Prototype Photos

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.

That's Port Richmond with I95 overhead, and you can see the covered conveyor for the grain elevator in the background. The facility was known as Coral St, more towards where the PRR Trenton Ave highline (K&T running track) passed overhead, only a few blocks up. It was still open in the early CR years. One could always find SW1's, VO1000m's and weird goodies as well! Still pretty safe by Philly standards during the daytime. It's all a forest there now!
