A moment with one of the ancient Reading Company MUs resting on Sunday for the morning rush |
| Description: |
RDG MUs wait on Sunday for the commuter runs to begin Monday morning from Warminster Station to Reading Terminal in November, 1976. With no operations on Sunday, my friend took my picture in front of one of the ancient MU's with his Kodak Instamatic in November, 1976. We wouldn't have attempted this in today's security! |

A desperate attempt to capture RDG MU 9102 out the window of the Philadelphia to Warminster local gave a view of the entrance to the former RDG Wayne Junction MU terminal. During the 44-day Septa Transit Workers Union strike on April, 1977, the Wayne Junction terminal was full of RDG Blueliners. A few Silverliners and 1929-1930 olive MUs were also lined up past the shops. |
