Reading Railroad

This is the portion of the Reading Railroad (of Monopoly fame)tracks that ran through Valley Forge. It was built in the 1800's, and ran right past the headquarters house. The station was built in 1913, right before Henry Ford's cars began to start making train travel obsolete. The station is used to hold classes now, and still has all of the authentic furnishings, walls, and doors inside, but it was locked and I couldn't see into most of it.



Here is the original lock on the back door of the station.
