THE READING IN TRANSITION VHS

This digitally edited, all color tape presents films taken by Harold Clevenstine along the tracks of the Reading Company and of the Reading power on the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines and the Pennsylvania Railroad during the 1950's. You will see EMD F3's, Baldwin AS16's and Fairbanks-Morse Train Masters. But more than anything else, you will see Reading steam!

T-1 4-84's are common, but there are also G-3 4-6-2's and other more unusual steamers at locations such as Camden, N.J., Gordon, Rutherford, Reading and Northumberland, PA. You'll see steam and diesel power struggle with the 2.6% grade up Locust Summit. Visit Gordon engine terminal just as the diesels have been delivered, spelling the end for many older steamers. Among the trains you will see pulled by Reading steam power is the PRR "Buffalo Boxcar" and a Mt. Carmel re train as well as P.R.S.L. Ocean City express and we cap off this look at a nostalgic era in American railroad history with a ride on the rear vestibule of a reading Ramble over the Catawissa Branch.

45 minutes, All color, graphics, maps and narration.
