This is my current reading! As a matter of fact, I've almost finished it. It's a delightful little book on the basic and necessary elements for landscape photography. Author Michael Frye, an excellent landscape photographer himself, makes, all the time, interesting and instructive comparisons to the methods and ideas of great masters like Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter and Edward Weston, including the well-known Zone System. A real bargain for what it actually delivers.
The Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern serves a small explosives manufacturing plant at Mount Carmel Junction, Pennsylvania. Since there is no runaround track nearby, the crew normally releases the brakes on outbound cars and drifts them down a small grade to get them on the west side of the engine for the return to Port Clinton. Normally, releasing the brakes and a prod with a pry bar under one of the wheels would be sufficient to get the car rolling.
On this brisk day, the combination of a sticking brake mechanism and stiff axle bearings kept the car, an empty covered hopper that had carried ammonium nitrate-based fertilized to the plant,from budging. So two crew members and two photographers put their backs into the effort, and the car begrudgingly started to give. After a little momentum was gained, conductor Shane Frederickson climbed up to man the brake wheel. I shirked my responsibility of pushing to back away and take this photo, leaving my friend Dennis Tiley and the engineer, Mike Bednar, to keep the covered hopper moving.
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.
Two of Reading and Northern's RDC Budd cars swing south through Landingville, PA, running from Pottsville to Jim Thorpe.
I`ve been reading a book by Freeman Patterson on seeing, this is what I`ve seen so far. You can shoot landscapes only so much of the time. Time to expand.

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.

On September 3rd 2018 Reading Buses relaunched their recently acquired former Stagecoach route 7 (Fleet-Reading) as the Tiger. It wasn't until September 24th that the first of what will be 2 rebranded buses appeared in service. Scania K270UB / Alexander Dennis Enviro300 B42F 414 YR13PMV 'John Vaughan' is seen in Fleet on its first day in service as a Tiger.
Reading in public places is always a good image to me. This time it just gets better.
