Reading and Northern SW8M 803 gets underway, backing from the station at Temple, then returning north with two cars north, crossing Tuckerton Road in an epic fashion with a nice M3 horn (I do believe this one as 3/16" inlets). Up until recently, movements on this branch were rare, except for ballast cars which are loaded on a ramp at this location (behind the camera out of scene). This line was the former Pennsylvania Railroad Schuylkill Branch, with the "low grade" of Reading's East Penn Branch in the background, now operated by Norfolk Southern.
