THE READING RAILROAD: WHAT HAPPENED?

- This is a look back in time to the "Anthracite" roads that once made the eastern rail scene more interesting and colorful. These principal roads were the Lehigh Valley, Jersey Central, Reading, D&H and the Erie Lackawanna Railroads.
The common theme was their early success based on hauling anthracite coal from a unique area in Pennsylvania and the decline of that business. The last decade of these roads largely depended on a declining business in hauling "bridge traffic".
The corporate history of these five roads is woven into a wealth of wonderful, all-color, railroading scenes. Our animated maps, made especially for our videos, are used to keep the viewer more informed. - Авто та транспорт
Miles of smiles! Thank you.
Excellent. Thanks
I so loved the Reading❤
Thanks. Brought back memories. Commuted on the Reading lines on the West Trenton line from 1965 - 1970.
Wonderful glimpses of the Reading. Even with a crowded car it was difficult to make earnings with an engineer, a fireman, a conductor and a trainman required for a single RDC, but the Reading had a classy Passenger service, non the less.
Loss of mail and packages in volume bankrupted the whole system coast to coast Oct 1967.
I enjoyed watching the ALCo Centuries of the Reading!
I’ve got the entire Dvd. It is excellent.
Reading & Northern still rides the Reading's home rails,🤔 so the Reading never left
So far as I know. I may be wrong, but I don't think there was ever a "Reading Railroad". There was a "Reading Company" that operated trains. Thinking back, is seems that they were careful to never say "Reading Railroad".
Every train ticket taxed to help build highways and airports until 1962.
The ICC destroyed all these railroads.
and the EPA,Appalachian Coal was dirty compare to the Powder River Coal out west
