Reading Depot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reading Depot,[3][4][5] commonly referred to as Reading outer station, was a train station in Reading, Pennsylvania, that served as a major hub between Philadelphia and Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Built in 1874, the station closed on March 16, 1969;[2] this was following the discontinuance of the last medium distance route to pass through the city, the Reading Railway's Queen of the Valley (Harrisburg–Jersey City). It was destroyed by fire on February 20, 1978.[1]
