READING RAILROAD MUSEUM TOUR

Participants will first meet at the Reading Railroad Heritage Museum for a tour. Throughout its 30-year history, the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society has acquired the largest collection of railroad rolling stock dedicated to a single railroad in the United States. Comprised of over 70 freight and passenger cars and locomotives, the Society’s collection includes several historically significant examples of rail equipment, including the first production model of the General Motors GP-30 diesel-electric locomotive.

Following the museum tour, participants will head to the 1787 Brewery (43 South Fourth St., Hamburg, PA), which is just a half-mile away from the museum. The 1787 Brewing Company has 10 beers on tap!
