Former Reading Company locomotive building and maintenance facility building most of the Reading Railroad's steam locomotives along with its fleet of electric MU's.
It continued on as the Reading's diesel repair facility until the coming of Conrail in 1976, where it rebuilt freight cars until its closure.
The quality of work by the railroad's employees was well renowed in the Northeast. If the Reading repaired it, it was done right.
