this other eden by paul harding
review www.theguardian.com/books/2023/feb/07/this-other-eden-by-...
' ... The story sometimes feels peripheral to the characters’ sublime powers of attention, their propensity to be at home in the natural world ... '
i loved this book: the story gripped me, the characters affected me deeply, their lives on the island were hard but the community bond was ever present, the natural world of the island understood so well by the islanders drew me in, the shameful treatment by outsiders with calipers in hand who didn't take the time to understand the islanders and the lives they led was grotesque, the detail of esther honey's life and that of her grandson ethan honey's life was beautifully written with compassion but finally left me deeply sad, as did that of dear bridget ...
The story: This Other Eden is a powerful, lyrical story set on an island off Maine, home to a community of freed slaves and other castaways. It begins with a hurricane, but worse is to come as we reach the 20th Century and the state government decides forcibly to evict the island's inhabitants. That decision to "cleanse" Apple Island, bigotry masquerading as eugenic pseudo-science, is based on shockingly real historical events. This book is full of wonderful characters. Esther Honey recites from Hamlet and is raising three gifted grandchildren. Ethan Honey is a talented young artist who, because he can pass as white, is sent to the mainland in an effort to save him from the fate of the rest. But calamity is everywhere.
Paul Harding's This Other Eden is based on historical events when the State of Maine evicted a racially integrated community from Malaga Island in 1912

A former Reading GP39-2 has led CSX Q216 into Philadelphia's Eastside Yard. This unit should be no stranger to Philly, although on this day it arrived via the rails of the former B&O.

In a rare bit of luck under heavy cloud cover the NRRB rolls along the Reading near Berne behind what would pretty much be the standard roustabout power during my visit.

I think I could easily adjust to living in such a house alongside the river ......... when I come up with all six numbers on the lottery!!
After finishing up at Yuengling 2532 goes around the Pottsville leg of the wye on the way home to West Cressona.
Continuing in my subject/slideshow fashion we'll take a look at the R&N around Pottsvile. They serve what I think is still a team track and 2 Yuengling breweries around town. The Pottsville Branch from Port Clinton ends at Pottsville Junction, a switch which is probably technically in Mount Carbon. There is about a half mile spur from there north towards downtown Pottsville while the Middleport Runner (the former Passenger Main as this was from Port Clinton to Tamaqua) goes about 10 or 12 miles to Middleport. About 2 miles up the runner past Pottsville Junction is Mill Creek Junction and the connection(s) with the Saint Clair Runner to Yuengling's brewery at the south end of the old Reading Co. St. Clair yard in Port Carbon. The track to this brewery had been abandoned but was put back in in 2002, a great opportunity as the arch bridges you'll see in this sequence are on the wyes of Mill Creek Junction which was the relaid track.
Thank you for your visit, comment, fave or invite, all are much appreciated.

You find a lot of different little coffee shops while walking through Bilbao. I found people don't stay too long in one place, mostly walking from bar to bar eating pintxos an standing outside. So this woman just reading her book really stood out to me.
Looking to be well patronised, Saturday twenty-seventh of March offers a 2-hour charge to Exeter St Davids with D1010 'Western Campaigner' upon 09.30 London Paddington-Penzance service.
The Plymouth (possible engine change) and Cornish destinations follow a more arduous terrain, scheduled arrival of 15.40 at Penzance.

R&N PISB charges past the former station at Old Forge PA along the former DL&W heading for customers in the Keyser Valley area on the west side of Scranton. We're near milepost 3 despite the Conrail and DL&W mileposts here stating otherwise. Also, why is there a lawnmower to the right of the mileposts? This was attempt No. 4 at this angle.
In this R&N storyline today we'll go after what I showed up looking for. The GP38-2's painted in the Reading Co's last scheme which was applied to their GP39-2 and GP40-2's.
I think I photographed 9 or 10 trains on the Scranton Branch during the trip. I fought clouds for much of it, though never on cloudy days. The branch is fantastic for photographers. In it's 7 or 8 miles between Pittston and Taylor there's side-by-side running with the former Lehigh Valley, a flyover, former DL&W mileposts, a through truss bridge, a former station, a cut, an S curve, and an iconic easy to do elevated shot. Traffic and timing are very consistent, Monday through Friday the PISB (Pittston-Scranton Branch) is pulling into Taylor between 830 and 9am. Weekends are a little different with the PISB doing double duty and handling the interchange with NS at Taylor. On these days they also usually split their power instead of keeping both engines on the head end. During my stay this job was the nearly exclusive domain of a pair of the RDG painted* GP38-2's.
The surprise was the Pittston yard job. When I showed up to Pittston for the first time since probably 2006 (Pittston back then had been my only experience with the R&N) I wasn't surprised to see a Caboose there. I was surprised to see it used the next day and then absolutely flabbergasted when I figured out that the normal move for the yard job was to shove the entire way up the Scranton Branch to Taylor! Every now and then there will be an exception where supposedly the hitch a ride on the rear of the PISB up there but it didn't happen while I was there watching (Though once or twice I would see it mentioned in John Cudo's post to the Friends of the Reading and Northern Railroad Facebook group).
Anyway usually late morning the YJPI1 shoves to Taylor Caboose-first and returns with it tucked in between the locomotives and the inbound interchange. The line orientation is more east-west than north south so the PISB is aiming into low sun in the morning and coming back towards the sun in the afternoon. The yard job makes itself a mid-day affair.
reading is a door to your imagination open it , and descover all the places you can go !

On Sunday 24th October 2021, a large rail replacement operation took place in the Basingstoke area affecting the services of SWR, GWR and Cross Country. This resulted in a nice variety of vehicles turning up throughout the day - in fact 37 different operators were noted supplying 53 different vehicles!
Replacement bus services ran out to Andover, Reading, Winchester and Woking.
