These scenes from the Reader Railroad at Reader, Arkansas were taken December 16 and December 26, 2006 by John Reagon, who gave me (Ken Ziegenbein) permission to put them on this website. The only thing I did was lighten up a few shadows. Mr. Reagon's email address is: john_reagon@hotmail.com

A movie company is using some Reader Railroad rolling stock for a movie being filmed in New Mexico called "3:10 to Yuma," a remake of the famous western. John Reagon said in an email: "Entering Reader (December 26), I noticed they had already put a boxcar on a Tractor Trailer Flatbed, The Coaches are painted in Yellow and Black and have "Southern Pacific" on them. The Steam Locomotive was still in the roundhouse, but under fire building pressure (this was at 10:30 A.M.) They are going run it down the tracks to the old turntable, turn it around and run thru Reader (Old Town Reader) to a "new" siding where they can load it onto a Trailer. The Movie is called "3:10 to Yuma" (a Western Remake) "
