In 1970, the US Treasury’s longest-running promotions for Savings Bonds was initiated. Posters and billboards seemed to be everywhere, and even some railroads got into the act. The Reading Company had several freight cars augmented with the placards, including this covered hopper seen at Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1986
A former Reading GP39-2, now CSX 4307 leads L120 into Elk Mills, MD to service Appalachian Railcar Services.
With its throttle wide open, a single GP40-2 blasts up the hill at Emmaus on the point of NS H11. The 3001 was originally built for the Reading and is one of three RDG GP40-2s that made it to NS. There's another EMD on the other end for the trip east, but it isn't providing power - leaving the geep on its own for this heavy train of mostly LPG tanks.
This weeks Saturday Night Special is a pair of Reading Geeps. GP35 3628 and GP39-2 3420 are at Bethlehem, PA on March 27, 1976. Photograph by Charles Houser. In 4 more days the 3628 would become a Conrail locomotive and the 3420 would become the D&H 7420.
Shortly After a thunderstorm left town NS 1067 is seen yet again leading another train this time being 16G it’s seen here passing the Sebring depot in Downtown Sebring.

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.

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.

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.
Inspired from works by Candida Höfer. Her book the "Architecture of Absence" states ...images of the interiors of public and institutional spaces - spaces marked with the richness of human activity, yet largely devoid of human presence.
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.

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.
Gerrit van Blaaderen, De Court Onderwater op zijn ziekbed, ca 1904, Singer Museum Laren. Gezien bij de tentoonstelling 'Uitgelezen: over boekdrukkunst, boeken en lezen', 17 februari-17 mei 2015, Museum Gouda.
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.
