A READING COMPANY SCRAPBOOK Volume 1 - Steam and Diesel This excellent five-volume set offers a portrait of the beloved Reading Railroad in its heyday - from steam to diesel, passenger to freight. Rare archive film footage showcases the colorful locomotives and trains that made the Reading a favorite among Railfans. We've added accurately-synchronized sound to the originally-silent film footage to create a nostalgic look at one of the Northeast's most beloved railroads. VOLUME 1 includes rare scenes of the brand-new steam-powered Crusader, Reading Terminal in Philadelphia with RDG and CNJ steam, new FP7s, and Crusader, more steam scenes with 2-8-0s, 4-6-2s, 2-10-2s, and T-1 Class 4-8-4s, including service on the PRR as leased power; FT diesels in actions; Mt. Carmel engine terminal with steam; Reading Shops; Diesel action scenes at many NJ and PA locations including Trenton, Camden, Pennsauken, Valley Forge, Port Kennedy, Perkiomen Jct., Reading, Hamburg, and Bethlehem. 30 minutes * Color and B/W Archive Film * Maps and Location Graphics * Synchronized Sound * A READING COMPANY SCRAPBOOK Volume 2 - Wilmington & Northern, Part 1 Here's a look at the very scenic Reading & Northern Branch, which extends south from Birdsboro, PA to Wilmington, DE. Portions of this line have now been abandoned, so many of the sequences presented on this program are now just a memory. This fine volume features road jobs which travel over the entire line to Wilmington, and coal trains running to the massive Grace Mine at Joanna. You'll see trains pulled by two or three classic Alco RS-3s, as well as colorful GP30/35 lashups. Scenic locations include Birdsboro, Geigertown, Trap Rock, Joanna, Elverson, Pocopsin, Montchanin, Elsmere, and Wilmington. 30 Minutes * Full Color Archive Film by William Ashley Cooper * Maps and Location Graphics * Synchronized Sound * |
