Reading RR Diner
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, October 4, 2004 9:09 AM

Today's Philadelphia Daily News has a feature on a derelict semi-streamlined heavyweight car once used as a stationary lunch counter downtown. It turns out to be the only Reading full diner in captivity, and the Reading Co. Technical & Historical Society is trying to save it.
The Daily News is a registration site, and IMO is a pain to navigate, but it is www.philly.com. The articile gives the e-mail for Steve Schwartz, the Reading socety's chief of acquisitions as schwartzsj@juno.com
