Image information
Here we see a view of the PRR yard in Reading, around the freight house and passenger station at the foot of Penn Street. The freight house is visible to the left, and Wertz Warehouse is visible in the right of the photograph. An interesting mix of rolling stock is in evidence, including an outside-braced boxcar and some yellow MOW hoppers. Motive power appears to be a mix of Alco and Baldwin (There's an Alco RS-type unit immediately adjacent to the freight house). The Pennsy had a yard further south along the line in addition to the trackage here. It's interesting to note that there's a block of row homes very close to the tracks; these are long gone.
