Description

Here is a view of the Pennsy freight house from the other side, with a PC Baldwin idling by the deteriorating building. The Reading was the dominant railroad in its namesake city; PRR/PC trackage never rose above secondary status, and was some of the first to be removed as superfluous in the Conrail era.
