Reading (RBM&N) - From the Reading & Northern Employee Magazine (Winter, 2018): "The strip mall, which previously was on this site, was demolished in fall of 2016. [In the spring of 2017] a two story tower replicating the Pennsylvania Railroad “J” Tower was built next to a newly laid siding. The project was incorporating a Victorian Era structural design that would also comply with modern practices. The 'tower' has two modern restrooms on the first floor and an operations room on the second. The appearance of every detail reminds one of the 19th century styles. Even the platform for the station carries the theme, by using street lighting of the same time period. To tie it all together, a staircase from tower to platform was built from an old Reading Railroad station picture."
