Where was the Reading's engine servicing facility at Newberry? I know there was a sand tower and fuel tanks. I assume it's gone now.

A lat/long or google maps link would be helpful. Thanks.

I was an extra clerk on the Reading at Newberry Jct in 1961-62. The RDG had and engine and car repair facility northeast of the former yard office building. They also had a bunkhouse, east of the NYC restaurant, for crews laying over after arriving from Philadelphia, Tamaqua and other eastern origins. The engine servicing area had a pit and sand tower.
