Reading Lines Passenger Service - 1970
Posted by CMStPnP on Friday, May 31, 2019 1:45 AM

Believe it or not I actually got a glimpse of the old and very large Reading Terminal in Philadelphia in May 1984, the same year it closed for good.   Massive structure and at the time I was there..........very few trains comming and going.     At any rate this video brings back that memory.    Though I have no clue what line this is in the video.........sure has a lot of curves on it.

Years ago, Trains ran a long article on  how that Reading  terminal coped with a nearby fire that interrupted services. Great video!!
