Arkansas Railroads: Past and Present: Part 3: The Reader Railroad:what's left

[arkansasrailfan]

The Reader Railroad still exsists today,at least a part of it.  One loco is in New Mexico playing the part of a "SP"engine, and actually run under it's own power on  the set, or so I've heard. Now five miles remain, but if you see an enginehouse by one of the highways, it's really a movie set. The real one is in what used to be Reader. After the last time I was there, the roof has caved in and is infested with wasps. I have a phobia of bugs, but I managed somehow to survive it.  As always, there are no diesels.
