“The reading company technical and historical society (tct&hs) has assembled one of the largest collections in the u.s. Pertaining to a single railroad. The collections include over 80 significant examples of the reading company's locomotives, freight, passenger, training and work equipment;a comprehensive archive of reading railroad photographs, documents, and maps pertaining to the railroad's people, facilities, equipment, and operations; and hundreds of artifacts including tools, signals, train-dispatching boards, a 100-foot turntable, and examples of many other pieces of reading railroad hardware. The tct&hs operates the reading railroad heritage museum in hamburg, pa as an interpretive center for the collections.the reading railroad was unlike any other railroads because of its limited territory and national impact. It served from 1838 to 1976, shaping communities and the environment, as its efficient transportation of coal from the mines to the factory fueled in the industrial revolution of the entire northeast. The reading railroad heritage museum is the only institution interpreting the significance of the reading railroad to the nation and to the communities it served. It uses its collections to provide interpretive and educational opportunities for students and for the public, facilities for conservation and research, preservation of historical rail equipment, and preservation of historical archives and artifacts of the reading railroad.”
