520    Rail transportation has been part of daily life in Reading
       since the 1830s. Reading Trains and Trolleys portrays the 
       good old days of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway 
       (reorganized as the Reading Company in 1923), the 
       Schuykill Valley Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, 
       the Mount Penn Gravity Railroad, the Neversink Mountain 
       Railroad, the Reading City Passenger Railway, and the 
       Reading Traction Company. The Reading Railroad gained 
       widespread recognition as a property for sale on the 
       Monopoly board, but the history of trains and trolleys in 
       Reading goes well beyond that iconography. Reading Trains 
       and Trolleys documents the impact of railroad and trolley 
       networks on Reading and adjoining communities, including 
       photographs of the interior of the locomotive shop and the
       carbarn at Tenth and Exeter Streets, views of the Walnut 
       Street yard before and after the Outer Station was 
       constructed, and views from the Swinging Bridge, which 
       spanned the yard by the Outer Station. The Historical 
       Society of Berks County's collection of rail photographs 
       includes many never-before-published images of diverse 
       scenes in and around Reading.
