Late start to the Mid week, but here we go, anyway.

I took a drive to Schuylkill Haven, PA last week to take photos of the F7s which the Reading & Northern have recently acquired.  They were not there, but this RDC was at the old station.  The depot is now the headquarters of the R&N Passenger Department.

One of their executive passenger cars, the Schuylkill Valley was also on the siding track in this quaint town.

I believe this is an old DL&W car that had been severely modified to become one of the first business cars for the Reading & Northern.

They have a nice fleet of trucks there, too.

Boxcar Alley, and a view of the RDC,  There is weekend passenger service on the railroad from Reading, PA to Jim Thorpe, using these.

I like the sort of "Crusader" like look to this car.

Trackside shanties are also near the station.  Storing a track speeder, of course.

Wednesday will be gone by the time many of you read this, but let's keep the thread going.  Any of your pictures of trains on the tracks will be welcome.
