Shawmont Station

Hi All: I made a few signs, complete with weathering to fit the era, for my 65th birthday photo shoot. (Shawmont on left, and the Reading Railroad on the right).... I saved them, so if you want them, or anything similar, let me know. I have quite a few years in theater scenery design, so let me know how to contact. See more

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission just allocated $1M to restore the historic Shawmont Station. I know many people were interested in this historic building - hopefully it will become a destination for cyclists, runners, and rail enthusiasts.
