Norfolk & Southern Reading Line

[jdoe2112]

I'm new to the forum here and this is my first post. I want to give my props and say wonderful work to all involved who produced this map. I've lived in this area all my life. I remember my father taking us boys to the hump yard and watch the rail traffic must have been early - mid 70's. Saw the Bi-centennial steam train go through Emmaus in '76. My house growing up was just down the hill from the East Penn Branch line going through Vera Cruz and I walked the tunnel many times. I remember visiting Ed Blossom's trolleycar repair shop in Topton where the Kutztown Branch starts off. I first saw this line when I had TRS2004 with my son and loved it. Been out of it for several years and just downloaded 2009 and tried to get the content I had before. I found and dounloaded all I could find on the area and it looks like the route got larger. Just have to say this route is very impressive, very fun and man does it bring back memories. My father was one of the founding members of the Rockhill Trolley Museum of Railways to Yesturday in Orbisonia , Pa. right next to the East Broad Top narrow gauge RR. I've walked the rails and snooped through the machine shops as a kid and everything is still there, back in the 80's anyway. Downloaded the DEM data for the EBT, will try but can't say I'm good at creations but will love trying. If anyone has any branch lines of the area please share of foreward links for download. especially interested in the East Penn Branch or the old Ironton Line. anything!! Thanks all
