On Saturday, October 4, several West Jersey Chapter members traveled to the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum in Hamburg, Pa., which is owned and run by the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society. The museum boasts many railroad-related exhibits, including the Race Street Tower interlocking machine and model board, an extensive archives, and a large collection of rolling stock. Lunch was on board Reading Company business car No. 15, which is in the process of being restored by RCT&HS and WJC member Kevin Painter.
Prior to our visit to the museum, our group photographed the Reading & Northern’s excursion to Jim Thorpe, Pa., at North Reading, the Industrial Drive grade crossing (“MULLER”) in Tilden Twp., and Molino.
