Title:
"Railroads Of Pennsylvania," Page 19, 1942
Description:
Here is page eight of a 22-page article by William Moedinger, Jr., entitled "Railroads Of Pennsylvania." It was published originally in the October 1942 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 19. Partial Caption: "When the Philadelphia & Reading was built in 1838, the 1931-foot Black Rock Tunnel was a major engineering project. The main line crosses to the north bank of the river as it leaves the tunnel, and proceeds upon its way to Reading and the anthracite mining districts around Pottsville and Mahoney City."
