One of Conrail’s twelve U23B’s inherited from the Lehigh Valley trundles west on the Pottstown Industrial Track in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The Pottstown Industrial Track was one of several remnants of the PRR’s Schuylkill Branch, which paralleled the Reading main line from Philadelphia to the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania. I’m not sure about the history of the recently-renovated mill to the left, but the building directly behind the GE is part of the Mrs. Smith’s Pies complex, where the frozen pies were baked and packaged until the facility was relocated to Oklahoma in 1998.
