The Reading and Northern Railroad has long had a reputation as a friendly, welcoming road . That reputation will no doubt grow with the announcement that the railroad will be opening an online store for railfans (and friends/family of railfans) to purchase merchandise directly from the road.
Among the first items available from the new store will be 40th anniversary t-shirts, steam locomotive 2102 and Reading and Northern hats, and 2102 puzzles.
The store will go live Tuesday, January 16 at 9am Eastern time.
The Reading and Northern is a regional railroad operating on over 400 miles of track in Pennsylvania.
