Riding behind Reading T-1 No. 2102 in 1985, from Temple, PA to Jim Thorpe, PA. The trip commemorated the 40th anniversary of the building of the first T-1 in the Reading Shops in 1945.
By the late 1970’s, 50-ton hoppers were not uncommon, but their ranks were quickly dwindling. Here a Reading survivor visits Allentown Yard in its final years.
