Reading By Candlelight may not be good for ones eyes but sometimes the stories really seem to come to life. Ones imagination can open a mind to the point where you feel the horse beneath you and feel the wind in your hair. When reading in a well lit room the horse may not be so fast and your hair not even get messy. My advice is to keep the candle burning and don’t fall off of your Stallion. Thanks for viewing my work. Gratitude and Kindness helps keep the imagination active.

At the present time it is not so easy to inspire the little ones to read. Luckily, it succeeds again and again. Nice is that our daily newspaper has a special part extra for the kids.
Reading and Northern train PNPV (Port Clinton to Pottsville) is headed south as they pause at about MP 82.1 on modern day RBMN's Pottsville Branch crossing the muddy Schuylkill River at a place known as "The Chutes."
The rails through here were opened by the Philadelphia and Reading in 1842. For the next 124 years this was the the northern end of the road's 88 mile mainline from Philadelphia to Pottsville. In 1976 the by then bankrupt RDG was folded into Conrail which operated this trackage for 14 years until selling it to the expanding Reading Blue, Mountain and Northern Railroad in 1990. This view is taken from the bridge of the parallel John Bartram Trail which once was the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Schuylkill Division that was abandoned shortly after the formation of Conrail.
Leading the train are two EMD end cab switchers from decidedly different eras, RBMN 803 (SW8 blt. Sep. 1951 as Lehigh Valley 270) and 1542 (MP15DC blt. Apr. 1982 as Southern 2426)

The rolling hills of central Vermont make for unforgettable views of stunning rustic farms that would be right at home on the countryside in all fifty states. Home made maple syrup for sale on the farmhouse porch (using the honor system!) and a friendly dog to greet us made Jenne Farm a sentimental favorite spot from our week in New England.
I love reading, and seeing others immersed in a book brings me so much joy. I recently came across Steve McCurry's book featuring photos of people reading, and it reminded me of all the moments I’ve captured of readers. Here’s one of them.
Yes i do admit that i am a bookworm and proud of it. I love reading books when i get a chance to.
This pose is from Sensation Poses and its called Bookworm. You can find this pose at the Pose Event now.
The power of a westbound Conrail train has just uncoupled from its train to make a pickup in Reading, Pennsylvania. Six month old C40-8W 6062 still serves NS today as its 8321. I personally think it looked much better in blue.

One thing I've got down to a science is panning heritage units in bad weather leading their way past Harris Tower in downtown Harrisburg. This shot is no different as NS 1067, the Reading heritage unit, leads train 66Z east through the first feet of the Harrisburg Line.

The Pan Am Railways OCS is seen passing through Reading, MA on the Reading Running Track. The Reading Running Track was a unique set up, but was taken away this weekend with a new interlocking cut in at Ash Street.
Reading (while the last rays of sunlight are shining in the room) the wonderful book of Hilary Mantel: "Wolf Hall".

Sitting on the edge of the dock reading the waves as they go by, relaxing and a way to escape the world for a moment.
This is by way of introduction to an upcoming series of photos I will be posting from a recent visit to the market.
Reading Terminal Market - America's oldest farmers' market
The Reading Terminal Market, established in 1892 at 12th and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, is the nation’s oldest continuously operating farmers’ market. Through its long and interesting history, it has seen times both good and bad, but has emerged in the 21st century as one of the greatest public markets in the country.
When you visit the market, you can enjoy eating virtually every type of cuisine, from sublime soul food and exquisite Asian and Middle Eastern dishes to authentic Philly Cheesesteaks and traditional Pennsylvania Dutch fare — all available from largely family-run stands.
Why a Reading market in Philadelphia you ask - - -
In 1889, the Reading Railroad decided to build a train depot, passenger station, and company headquarters on the corner of 12th and Market Streets. The move came eight years after the Pennsylvania Railroad opened its Broad Street Station several blocks away at 15th and Market Streets, and one year after the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad opened its 24th Street Station at 24th and Chestnut Streets.
The chosen location was occupied by an open-air market that had been in continuous operation since 1653. After loud complaints and much negotiation, the Railroad agreed to purchase the markets for $1 million and move them to a new structure: the Reading Terminal Market, located to the rear of the headhouse at 12th and Filbert Streets. This required the trainshed and all of its tracks to be constructed one story above street level, with the Reading Viaduct to bring trains in and out.
Reading Terminal served the railroad's inter-city and regional rail trains, many of which are still running as part of the SEPTA Regional Rail system that connects Center City with outlying neighborhoods and suburbs, especially to the north. Daily traffic peaked during World War II with up to 45,000 daily passengers, then declined in the 1950s with the advance of road and air travel. The terminal buildings declined with the railroad's fortunes as maintenance budgets were cut. The Reading declared bankruptcy on November 23, 1971.
The shed was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
It now houses some of the Pennsylvania Convention Center facilities.
