Stairwell (2) |
| Description: |
This is the second stairwell across the tracks from the previous picture. It is filled in as was the other stairwell. I believe the numbers 37/87 represent distance here 37 to NYC and 87 to Reading PA. October 17,2020 infromation from the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society on 37/87 as follows, This is measured from the bumper post at Reading Terminal and is mile post 37.87. This is correctsd from what I posted previously here about 37/87 |

Concrete & Wooden Supports |
| Description: |
Concrete and wooden supports opposite side from the station. I'm not sure what these were for. In Mitch Dakelman's book Reading Facilties Volume 1, page 88 shows a small wooden shelter. and two tracks with a wooden platform at track level. My guess these supports amy have been for the wooden shelter. October 17,2020 update, these concrete and wooden supports were aprt of a raised freight platform, source Redaing Company Technical & Historical Society letter to me dated October.10,2020. |
