Reading "Big Dutch Mike"
Title:  Reading "Big Dutch Mike"
Description:  A Reading M1sa "Big Dutch Mike" leads an Autumn afternoon westbound on the "platform track" as seen from Camp Meeting Avenue overpass. It's a good bet that this freight stopped to do work at pesticide maker Goulard & Olena. Reading's Big Dutch Mikes were Baldwin products (except for the class engine, #1700, from the Reading shops). CKF lived in nearby Blawenburg at the time and would ride his bike to the Skillman depot or get a ride from his mom, who worked at Skillman & Skillman Realty.
