Rolling stock roster. Interviews and Recollections. The Pennsylvania Traction Series is dedicated to preserving and recording the history of the age of the trolley in Pennsylvania. Our original book READING TRANSIT TROLLEYS (1979), co-authored by Robert E. Sauer, Jr., covered the history of the entire system, from Palmyra on the west to Philadelphia on the east a distance of over 75 miles. After a book is published additional material is sure to surface and by 1998 the author had accumulated so much additional material that he decided to break the history of the system into three volumes. This is the last of the three volumes, the first covering Reading and Berks County; the second covering Lebanon and the Lebanon Valley. This book covers the eastern end of the READING TRANSIT & LIGHT COMPANY centered in Norristown. Herewith, then, is a backward look by word and picture into the time of the trolley. I hope that this volume will bring you as much pleasure as its preparation has to its author. All pictures are of the actual item. There may be reflection from the lights in some photos.
