I caught the Columbia and Reading, CORY, switcher in Columbia, PA, today. I was zipping by in a car so I didn't get a perfect shot. Should have asked the driver to slow down.

So, you need to camp out railfan style and take more pictures :rolleyes:. I presume CORY operates the former Reading, from Columbia, but how far do they actually go?
 
I don't really have time to sit around waiting for trains. CORY operates 2 miles of track. They supposedly mostly run to the Sahd metal recycling facility about a mile from the interchange. At the switch there are a number of refurbished locomotives sitting on the main track. The actual end of track is at rt 30. A row of boxcars is stored there.
Apparently alot of their business is the related locomotive/car rebuild shop.
