Waiting for Departure |
| Description: |
Upon arrival in Boyertown, we found the Colebrookdale Railroad awaiting to depart with a St. Patrick's Day special for Pottstown. Thanks to the efforts of the Colebrookdale Railroad Preservation Trust, this former Reading Company branch still sees regular passenger operations. While Boyertown is the northern terminus these days, the line once extended further to serve the villages of Barto and Bally. |

EBGR 7236 |
| Description: |
Colebrookdale Railroad 7236 stands ready for departure at Boyertown station. The first generation EMD was constructed in 1959 as part of the Pennsylvania Railroad's massive GP9 fleet that once exceeded two hundred units. Numbered 7236, it served the PRR in freight operations, working through Penn Central and into Conrail. During the Conrail era this unit was rebuilt into a GP10, one of many so refurbished in this manner in an effort to extend their service lives. After retirement from Big Blue, the Pennsy veteran bounced around to several different owners before coming to Boyertown at the start of 2016. It has since become the primary locomotive for Colebrookdale operations, treating visitors to a view of this area of Berks County. |

Buy War Bonds |
| Description: |
The restoration of this former PRR cabin car has included a paint scheme rarely seen outside of photographs in the modern era. The Pennsy had this scheme applied to quite a few of their cabin cars during the era of World War II as a way to advertise to the American public one of the ways that they could support the war effort. |

MEC 2001 |
| Description: |
One of the Colebrookdale's future restoration projects is the former Maine Central instruction car, converted from a standard coach for the purpose of training employees on safety and railroad rules at outlying terminals along the Pine Tree Route. The first time I encountered this car was nine years ago at North Conway, NH in the yard of the Conway Scenic Railroad, where the Colebrookdale Railroad acquired the car from a few years back. It'll be nice to see it hit the rails again in the future. |

Another New Arrival |
| Description: |
Parked among the historic buildings along Boyertown's Philadelphia Avenue is the most recent locomotive to join the Colebrookdale roster. Acquired from one of Norfolk Southern's recent locomotive auctions, the unit is reportedly in great mechanical shape and will soon be repainted and placed in passenger service along the branch. |
