RDG 1675
Title:  RDG 1675
Description:  Although similar in appearance to baggage cars operated in this area back in the early 20th century, "Reading Company" 1675 is actually from the Grand Trunk Western. It was once used by the museum as the gift shop at their previous site down the line in Leesport. Note that its heritage is beginning to show through the Reading colors.

RDG 2060
Title:  RDG 2060
Description:  Former RDG 2060 is a good example of the upgrades done to the cars on certain upscale trains on the system. This car was part of the train "Schuylkill" and featured a small kitchen and cafe style area which was utilized during the train's trip between Philadelphia and Pottsville. The car was made into a full dining car in the 1960s and moved to the "Wall Street" run in the opposite direction out of Philly to the CNJ terminal at Jersey City, NJ. Retired in the 1970s and sold to become a diner, it was acquired by the museum in 2002 where it currently awaits restoration.

RDG 2060
Title:  RDG 2060
Description:  After a very nice and informative tour around the main part of the museum yard, we were given permission by our guide to view and photograph other pieces not normally seen on the main tour. One of these was former Reading grill car number 2060. The grill car was once an important part of the Reading's long distance service, first serving on the Philadelphia-Pottsville "Schuylkill" before moving to the "Wall Street" between Philly and Jersey City/New York. Rebuilt from a standard commuter coach, number 1337, the car featured a kitchen for prepping small meals, and both counter and table seating. After retirement it became part of a restaurant and was later acquired by the museum. It is one of the few food service cars original to the Reading that survive, although some former RDG coaches have since been converted to dining cars on some tourist railroads post retirement from the former anthracite hauler.
