Reading coach #1474, built in 1913.
Fresh paint for the spring of 2008.
A shot of #1474 during the early years of WK&S operations. The car has been lettered WANAMAKER KEMPTON & SOUTHERN and retains its original solid olive green color. As shown in the photo at the top of this page, the railroad's current policy is to letter coaches for their previous owner. The WK&S does employ a bit of artist license with the two-tone green. These older commuter coaches never received the more modern two-tone when they worked for the Reading. But most would agree that the two-tone is far more attractive. |
