In classic railroad tradition, Kris and I held one final run of the Wee Reading Co., complete with commemorative banner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the RDC’s brought scale mileage collectors on a spin up frieght only lines. Then the 0-4-0 camelback took two cabooses from the yard, made a final spin around the main line and Mine Hill branches, up the switchback one last time and to the staging yard at the top of the hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scale chasers paced until they ran out of road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tracks are clear, except for a lone caboose at West Cressona yard. All the other equipment has been boxed up and packed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, I begin packing away the structures and then I’ll begin lifting of the track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special thanks to all my friends who helped me make this scale railway possible including, Bob & Ken Buck, Joe Costello, Ron Crenshaw, Tim Doherty, Paul Goewey, Dan Howard, Bill Keay, Richard Reed, Doug Scott, my father Richard Jay Solomon, my mother-in-law Sharon Sabbatino, and of course my wife Kris!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was fun, but it’s done. Good bye Wee Reading Company Mark I!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
