There was another arson case last week in Wikes-Barre, Pa at the old Market Street depot restaurant and hotel site.

I think it was one of the ex Reading MUs. As has been the case over and over again at the site, it was set by a vagrant living inside one of the cars.

A number of steel and wooden pieces of rolling stock remain on the site, both frieght and passenger. Reading, MEC, D&H and FGE are a few of the roads represented in the scrap-yard like lot.

Very sad.
