RDG "Blueliner" MU 9120 |
| Description: |
RDG MU 9120 waits on Sunday for the commuter runs to begin Monday morning from Warminster Station to Reading Terminal in November, 1976. The Reading purchased 100 MU's in 1929 and 1930 for suburban Philadelphia commuter service. In 1964, MU 9120 was one of 38 to be rebuilt, upgraded, and repainted from the original olive green to blue and white. (Ektachrome large format slide from a Brownie camera) |

Warminster commuter station |
| Description: |
Warminster station was built prior to Conrail and has survived largely unchanged from 1976 to 2014. In July 29, 1974, Warminster station was opened as part of an extension of the former Reading Company Hatboro to Reading Terminal line. Conrail assumed operations from the RDG on April 1, 1976, and provided contracted service to Septa using former RDG Harlan & Hollingsworth MU's(built 1931) and Silverliners (Budd Company II's and GE, Avco IV's). The MU's provided commuter service to Philadelphia until 1983, when Septa assumed full operations. The surviving Silverliner IV's remain in service on the Warminster Line. |

Warminster commuter station |
| Description: |
Warminster commuter station was opened as part of an extension of the former Reading Company Hatboro to Philadelphia line on July 29, 1974. The still new station was in regular operation as part of Conrail contracted operations for Septa in November, 1976. Low light and an Instamatic photo led to the poor quality imsge. |

Reading Company MU's rest on Sunday for the Monday rush |
| Description: |
RDG MU's wait on Sunday for the commuter runs to begin Monday morning from Warminster Station to Reading Terminal in November, 1976. With no operations on Sunday, my friend took my picture with his Instamatic demonstrating one of the catenary poles used by the Conrail-contracted crews. After the photograph, we respectively returned the pole. In today's security, of course, this youthful moment would not be repeated! No disrespect to railroad property was intended. |

Septa RDG MU 429 |
| Description: |
Surviving Commuter passenger service Silverliner IV 429 leads a quartet of MUs out of Hatboro station and on to Warminster on August 25, 2014. Prior to Conrails startup, MU 429 was delivered as a pair to the RDG in 1976 as part of 88 pairs numbered 101 to 188. They continued in CR-contracted service to Septa until 1983. Some of the RDG 101-188 and 309-399 cars were later renumbered into the 417-460 fleet when their PCB transformers were replaced. |
