Was that why R&R's vacancy in DC become open and Don Phillips (who I've always liked, and the same is true with Vernon) filled it?

The shed appears to span the main lines. Is this this the NS main line thru town? In the ariel photos I see 2 tracks on the opposite side of the building from the curved main train shed. These appear to stub end just past the station near the busway? My fist thought was light rail, but the map of t...

Re: Regional rail to Pottstown

Where would you put the stations?

The old RDG Phoenixville station is now a banquet hall.

The old Royersford station is now a restaurant.

At least the old Pottstown station appears to be the hub for PART so that would work out fine for that town.

And what about Valley Forge NHP?

Looks like it's going to be history at least as far as active status. Once they retrieve the three cars currently at SPI, the bridge will be decommed. http://www.capegazette.com/article/cool-spring-lewes-railroad-be-decommissioned/137466" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; motor
