Reading & Northern In Color

Clean locomotives in attractive paint schemes on well-maintained track will be found in this title. There are quite a few excursions featuring both steam and diesel power. The last chapter is a color guide to locomotives and a caboose.

Reading and Northern in Color tells the incredible success story of how the Blue Mountain & Reading, the designated operator of a 13 mile branch line north of Reading PA became the award winning regional carrier, Reading, Blue Mountain and Northern serving northeastern Pennsylvania. First-rate photography and informative captions provide thorough coverage of the 35 year history of the railroads.
