Bethlehem, PA: Reading Saucon Creek Roundhouse and Coaling Tower

(3D Satellite)

Robert Wanner shared his post of two photos and the comment: "Older and somewhat newer times at Saucon Creek Reading Company facility (on the Bethlehem Branch) with lineup of idle RDC cars, concrete coal dock, roundhouse and turntable showing. Newer photo shows facility in abandonment. The turntable now sits at the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society facility in Hamburg, Pa. Photos by Forrest W. Trittenbach."

The concrete company uses the roundhouse, but the coaling tower has been torn down.
