Hi All
I have another question for you all, when my friend & I recently rode the Fall special behind the Reading & Northern behind Reading 2102 on October 29th.
As we were coming into Jim Thorpe, I noticed a turntable on our right as we were slowing coming into town.

My question is this, is that the same turntable that was once located where the current parking lot is, just to the left of the station????

If not were did the current turntable come from,?????

The photo shows the turntable then filled with water, that I took in July 1989 the first I visited Jim Thorpe. Thank you, Pat.

Hi Mike
Thank you for your reply, the turntable today looks a whole lot better than it did in 1989. Pat.
