PHOTOS: Then & Now

Posted by kp5308 on Thu May 21 21:40:49 2020

Back in March MU car #9123 was one of the pieces of equipment we used to teach about the history of the Reading Company as part of our yard tour:


Included was an interior walk through. Although updated by SEPTA in the 1980s refurbishment program, the car was an excellent educational tool:


We received an offer from the New Hope and Ivyland for this car, along with an identical coach that is not near as serviceable plus a Lehigh Valley "Northeastern" style caboose. Jim & Gwyenn of Over The Top Construction were hired to plan the move of about 60 miles from Hamburg PA to the NH&I. The 9123 left yesterday:








The trucks, stepwells & various miscellaneous parts will go on a separate flatbed:
Next to move will be MU car #9103

I've never seen a photo of the interior of an original Blueliner, before the rehab.

Mike & Ed recently finished restoring the interior of #9111 but I do not have a digital photo to post. Next time I can get inside the car I'll take one with my phone & post it. In the meantime this is an original interior shot from #800 at Strasburg:
