About the book...
MEMORIES OF READING COMPANY POWER takes us on a tour of this little giant covering the years 1833 through 1976. We examine a railroad that, in 1952 was still a $450, 000,000 corporation efficiently moving passenger and freight business of a density unmatched by most other roads. Motive power is highlighted and many fine pictures by outstanding photographers help us to relive the grand days of the Reading Company.
