At least as of 2000, that siding into the Atlas plant had been abandoned for some time. I don't remember if the tracks were totally ripped out past the street or not, but Norfolk Southern only used a portion of the old spur for a bad-order set off point and occasional MOW equipment storage. If it has been rebuilt, please show me some sort of evidence so i can rebuilt it.
As of now, this is what the tracks in Mertztown look like in the route:
You can see i have the siding in there, but it no longer goes past the road and into the plant.

P.S. I have new pictures to post as soon as Kevin can upload them, but i know he's incredibly busy right now, and a file i gave him recently probably made him even more so, so be patient.

Railfan cow!
He's always been a little different than the other cows. While they're munching away on hay or grass, he's over watching the trains roll by on the Reading Line.
This is just one of the many extra little scenes i have spaced throughout the Reading Line route.
If you're from the area, and wish to make a cameo appearance, just let me know of your favorite location, and i'll put you in. A few people have already been added.
When the route is released, see if you can find them all.

Nice stuff Roon! Any plans for sessions based on prototypical train symbols to learn the route's operations? -Chris

I could maybe make some for local or yard operations. Kevin probably knows more about the mainline train schedules and symbols now than i do, so maybe we could persuade him to make a few too.
Only thing is, at this point i won't promise anything. I've been working on this route for around 2 years now, and i'm almost at the point where i just want it out the door
.But who knows....

As many of you know, the route is now complete and available for download at http://www.ustrainz.com/ .
I'll leave you with three final shots and a nice video, then its your turn to be the one taking the shots.
Here they are: the "southern" most part of the route that is fully detailed; CP Oley.
Looking north towards Spring St. Yard as two locomotives drift through the interlocking next to old Oley Tower.
Now connected to their train, they begin to head north (east). The center of the city of Reading is in the background.
Starting to pass the yard, yard office, and engines awaiting the call to service sitting in "the farm".
And finally...here is the video...8 minutes..enjoy!!
