(erielack) Port Reading

["sam cali" <"njtsam_@_hotmail.com">]

This is not an E-L topic, but...
         There is a rotary coal dumper at the ex-Reading yard in Port 
Reading.  Does anyone know how the cars were spotted on the dumper?  Did 
they use a locomotive or was there some kind of car mover (cable operated)?  
I would like to know when this operation was discontinued.         There is 
also a very large concrete building at this location. I read that the 
Reading ran a tie treating plant here. Is this building the tie treating 
plant?  Was it part of the coal dumping operation? Or was it some kind of 
engine house?
        Any information would be greatly appreciated.


   Sam
