I have come across references to Pennsy's "East Reading yard", which I am thinking was located on the west side of the Schuylkill river across from the city of Reading - i.e., in West Reading. ("East" being the designated direction of the railroad going from Pottsville to Philly.) If this yard was in fact in West Reading, how was it accessed and how did they turn trains around? Response I got awhile back from a moderator on a somewhat different inquiry seemed to suggest that a Pennsy ROW proceeded toward Hamburg along the west bank of the river but I have never seen a map showing tracks on that side of the river. Can anybody shed some light on this or send me a link to a yard diagram or photos of this yard?
Thanks
