Photos of Reader #11
on Jan 27, 1964
by Mike Condren

In the early 1960s the Reader Railroad in southwestern Arkansas began running mixed trains behind steam. Here we see the engine and the freight cars for its train.

In these photos we see the train progressing on its way to Waterloo.

When we arrive at the station in Waterloo, we see a couple views inside the cab of the locomotive

We next see our engine making up its train for the trip back to the refinery to pick up cars.

Here we then see engine switching the Barry Asphalt plant at Waterloo, AR, showing the very polluted ground covered with spilled asphalt.

Our engine is seen here switching the tank car loading track.

 
 

 
 

We then see some shots of the train on its way back to Reader.
