Hi All
When my friend & I rode the Fall Special with the Reading 2102 on October 29th , 2022, as the train slowly pulled into Jim Thorpe, I noticed a turntable on the right hand side of the train.
My question to you is this, when I first visited Jim Thorpe, back in July of 1989, I remember seeing a turntable, that was located if my memory is correct just to the left of the station, where the current parking lot is, I believe looking West,.
At that time there were tracks where is now parking lot, what I would like to know is this.
The turntable I saw as we pulled into Jim Thorpe, is that the same turntable I saw back in July 1989, or is it a replacement turntable????
Here is the photo I took back in July 1989, at the location, of the present parking lot, West of the station. thank you , Pat.
