Rtherford, PA: NS/Reading Railyard and Coaling Tower

Back in 1947 this yard was still out in the country. The tracks are labelled READING (LEBANON VALLEY BR). I think the rectangle to the left of the roundhouse was the coaling tower. An intermodal yard now hides any trace of the roundhouse.

As with many railroad yards, it is now an intermodal yard.
