I worked in a place that was behind the Oreland Y, you know the old Plymouth Reading Line. I followed it as far as it went. There was a small bridge before you get to Church Road (RT 73) and there is nothing after the bridge. They built houses were the line used to cross RT 73, At Bethlehem pike you can still see where the line used to be, but after that nothing, not at the quarry or anywhere.
Rusty,
I see them at some places, but haven't heard a word from Hennings yet. I know they sometimes get things late, but when the Berkshires and GP7s came out - they received them same as others.
F7s, Doug Peck should be back working on the 15th, but I know he is far behind on his orders. Maybe by May 1st.
The Philadelphia side of the Y was right behind us. I lived in the apartment on top of the bank, next to the PO from '72-'78. You can still see it on Google Maps. Both sides of the Y are visible as is the right-of-way. There as a large tank car factory on the Lansdale side with a good size yard which I can't make out. You can see the tar filled rail slots where they crossed Bruce Rd.
Our favorite watering hole was about 800 ft from where the line looks like it went under Bethlehem Pike -- Cisco's. There's a Wissahickon Trail there the looks like it follows the right of way for a bit.
So where did you work?
Tom
