[QUOTE]Originally posted by RDGAndrew: [QB] As my username implies, the Reading. Why? Variety. All kinds of homebuilt steam power, its own "pocket streamliner" (the Crusader, 1st stainless-steel train in the East and king of the 90-mile Philly-Jersey City run), high density of on-line industries, electrified suburban territory, appearances by B&O, CNJ, LV and WM power. Oh yes, and coal (though I'm not a huge fan of solid coal trains per se). Add to that the Reading's architectural character, with its brown-and-cream stations, many of which were designed by the eclectic Frank Furness. Reading Terminal, now the heart of Phila.'s convention center and seen in the film "12 Monkeys". Check out the great website of the Reading CO. Technical & Historical Society at [URL=http://www.readingrailroad.org]www.readingrailroad.org[/URL] and see how you can help them reach their goal of a Reading Railroad museum. On the topic of fallen flags - spotted a PC boxcar in Bloomington, IN once (in '97), and saw a highway trailer with the "worms in love" logo on the PA turnpike two years ago. [/QB][/QUOTE]
