The King Coal was a passenger train operated by the Reading Railroad between Philadelphia and Shamokin, Pennsylvania. The train was launched in the late 1930s, as part of Reading's introduction of streamlined trains, with equipment rebuilt by the railroad specifically for the service. Due to declining demand for passenger rail travel as automobiles became more popular, the King Coal was discontinued on June 28, 1963.
