Kris Hawk Mountain Line Rolling Stock
The Wanamaker, Kempton and Southern (WK&S), founded in 1963, is a heritage railroad operating over former Reading trackage in Kempton, Pennsylvania. It's called the Hawk Mountain line because of its close proximity to the Hawk Mountain range. Variations noted are from the Kris Model Trains chapter of Greenberg's Guide to Kusan Trains.
