Reading Depot,[3] [4] [5] commonly referred to as Reading outer station, was a train station in Reading, Pennsylvania, that served as a major hub between Philadelphia and Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Built in 1874, the station closed on March 16, 1969; this was following the discontinuance of the last medium distance route to pass through the city, the Reading Railway's Queen of the Valley (Harrisburg - Jersey City). It was destroyed by fire on February 20, 1978.
The station was one of two in Reading, the other being Franklin Street station.[6]
