Is the age of technology come to a point that we no longer know how to communicate face‐to‐ face? Will the future fool us to think we are in charge while we sit back and look at a computer screen and care nothing for what we write for what we say to the person on the other end. Will we forget how to look into the eyes of those most important in our lives, will we forget what tears are and how words are powerful, 5 will we hide behind a monitor and not see what we’ve done to each other? Will we long for the days when seeing an old friend brought a smile to our face and warmth to our heart, will we forget that mankind needs to learn to look at others to see truly what lies behind the words being spoken? I hope you will reach out and touch someone and take them on a journey, sharing of your memories and your love of this hobby, share it, what has been shared with me over the years has touched me in many ways and I thank you for looking me in my eyes and leaving a part of you with me.

  • November 6, 2014 for Those of You Who Were Able to Join Us at Our
    Dear All: November 6, 2014 For those of you who were able to join us at our WB&A Members Only Semi‐Annual General Membership/Swap Meet it was good to see you and we are glad you were able to join us. Please join us in welcoming and congratulating the winners of the 2015‐16 election: David Eadie (BoD & Membership); Bob Goodrich (BoD); Bill Moss (BoD) and Dan Danielson (Eastern Rep). I extend the entire BoD thanks and welcoming to them for the 2015‐16 Term. At our meeting we took a few minutes to say “thank you” to a couple who have done so much for the train hobby, the TCA and the WB&A, namely, Mary and Pete Jackson. Your BoD presented them with a plaque in honor of their work on the BoD over the years and for their years of work running Kids Korner at York and for the countless other ways they have assisted. Mary and Pete moved to Delaware about 2 years ago and have continued to be active in all that they had committed themselves to, but it’s time for them to take time to play trains and let others step up to take on the roles they had. So to Mary and Pete we say thank you for your years of service. As a reminder, the eblasts and attachments will be placed on the WB&A website under the “About” tab for your viewing/sharing pleasure http://www.wbachapter.org/2014%20E‐ Blast%20Page.htm The attachments are contained in the one PDF attached to this email in an effort to streamline the sending of this email and to ensure the attachments are able to be received.

  • Transforming Communities
    Transforming Communities 2019 Lost in the deep woods sheltering the Manatawny and Ironstone Creeks is the mythical Secret Valley, once the province of pioneers and patriots. Their stories can be heard in the soft winds whispering through the tall trees and towering trestles of the Colebrookdale Railroad—a magical, forgotten railway to the heart of this Secret Valley. It is your ticket to a place and time when iron rails connected a divided people and the heart of the nation pulsed with the potent energy of the steam locomotive. Completed by soldiers home from the Civil War just four months after the Transcontinental Railroad united East and West, the Colebrookdale is a record of epic engineering and heroic human drama. Eight-point-six miles long and a century- and-a-half back in time, the Secret Valley Line beckons you to experience for yourself the unexpected treasures of Southeastern Pennsylvania. 2 3 M I S S I O N TO SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE PRESERVATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE HISTORIC, CULTURAL, AND NATURAL HERITAGE OF THE MIDDLE SCHUYLKILL REGION, BIRTHPLACE OF THE AMERICAN IRON INDUSTRY. 4 Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency. Remember that our sons and our grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us.

  • THE READING TODAY - 1942 Huge, Short-Haul Coal Drags Keep This System’S Wheels Rolling
    1935 - 2016 VOLUME 47 NUMBER 8 D ISTRICT 2 - CHAPTER WEBSITE : WWW .NRHS 1. ORG AUGUST 2016 THE READING TODAY - 1942 Huge, Short-Haul Coal Drags Keep This System’s Wheels Rolling BY BERT PENNYPACKER - COURTESY OF CHAPTER FRIEND PAUL KUTTA Fast passenger trains may be exciting, but it’s freight that brings home the bacon - over 90% of it for Reading Company. More revenue is received from transporting freight of types other than coal, but the “black diamond” traffic provides reliable and steady income that keeps the road on its feet financially. Importance of Reading as a coal-carrier may be shown by the fact that nearly half of its freight cars are coal hoppers (15,500 hoppers out of a total of 32,500 freight cars). Practically all anthracite (hard) coal transported originates on Reading lines. What’s more, the system hauls over POWER PLUS ! NO. 2017 SOUTHBOUND FROM ST. CLAIR YARDS AT PORT CARBON , PA., 80% as much bituminous (soft) coal as anthracite, . WITH A HEAVY COAL DRAG although little originates in its territory. This traffic is obtained principally from the Western Maryland and Pennsylvania railroads at Harrisburg, and New York Central at Newberry Junction. Black diamonds, which are of inestimable value to the railroad today, almost ruined the system years ago. Between 1869 and 1881, the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company (P&RC&I), an associated coal organization, bought many thousands of acres of anthracite coal lands in Pennsylvania. This imposed a tremendous financial burden on the then Philadelphia & Reading Railway, and threw it into receivership several times.
