Eastern Pennsylvania has its fair share of relics also. In Sinking Spring, just west of Reading on the NS Harrisburg Line there are a bunch of old plows, jordan spreaders, and boxcars sitting in the weeds on the north side of the tracks behind the swimming pool. In South Bethlehem, there is an old Reading railroad roundhouse being used by the local road department as a garage, and there is also an old coal tower standing alone, and the table from the turntable was sitting in the weeds as of April of this year. This area is just north of I78 on rt 412, behind the Wendy's and mini-market. If you srive about 5 minutes further north on 412, you'll run into the old Bethlehem Steel mill, which is overflowing with stored cars, and old steel mill equipment. In Topton Pa, on the NS Reading line, there is a building that for the past 25 years or so has been used as a trolly barn by a restoration group. There were/are alot of old traction hunks in the weeds around the building, plus some other railroad equipment owned by the East Penn Railroad, which is the operator of the Kutztown branch (I use operator loosely, they haven't run a train into Kutztown in a long, long time). <br />With that, good luck in your quest.
