[edit] Summary
Photo of north entrance of the 7th Street Cut in Reading, Pennsylvania, a manmade ravine created for railroad tracks to run level, rather than climbing and descending a steep hill. The Cut was the scene of the Reading Railroad Massacre on July 23,1877: Pennsylvania militia were marched into the north end of the Cut in order to free a train blocked by strikers; the ended up shooting into a crowd gathered at the south end of the cut, killing 10. This photo was shot in 1999. Though at that time only one set of tracks ran through the Cut, at the time of the Massacre two sets of tracks - one northbound, one southbound - were there.
