From its founding in 1843, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad (P&R) was one of the first railroads in the United States. Along with the Little Schuylkill, a horse-drawn railroad in the Schuylkill River Valley, it formed the earliest components of what became the Reading Company. The original P&R mainline extended south from the mining town of Pottsville to Reading and then to Philadelphia. The line followed the gently graded banks of the Schuylkill River for nearly all of the 93-mile journey.
