The Story: Two ex CSX SD50's lead a Reading & Northern train through Port Clinton. At some point in the near future, these two are reportedly going to be taking on a new, exciting look.

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.

Practising still life lighting tonight (and I need a lot of practise). This is lit with a combination of candlelight, flash and a torch.

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.
Spotted this man reading. Was quite impressed with the resolution shown in this shot.

Forbury Gardens is a public park in the town of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. The park is on the site of the outer court of Reading Abbey, which was in front of the Abbey Church. The site was formerly known as the Forbury, and one of the roads flanking the current gardens is still known as The Forbury. Fairs were held on the site three times a year until the 19th century.
The gardens are listed as Grade II in the English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
Forbury, a suburb of the New Zealand city of Dunedin, was named after the gardens by early resident William Henry Valpy, who was born in Reading.
Reading Abbey was founded in 1121, by Henry I, and for the next four centuries it dominated the town, becoming one of the most influential establishments in England. Like other such monasteries, Reading had a forbury, or 'borough in front', an area of open land which provided a meeting place between the Abbey and the town. The Forbury in Reading was part of the outer court of the Abbey, and provided a market place as well as a meeting place.
In 1150, what is now Forbury Hill was constructed to help fortify the Abbey during the civil war between King Henry I's daughter Matilda and his nephew Stephen.[citation needed]
The abbey was largely destroyed in 1538 during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. The last abbot, Hugh Cook Faringdon, was tried and convicted of high treason, and hanged, drawn and quartered in front of the Abbey Church. After this, the buildings of the abbey were extensively looted, with lead, glass and facing stones removed for reuse elsewhere, and the focus of the town moved away from the Forbury.
Forbury Hill, used as a gun emplacement in the civil war
Reading suffered badly during the English Civil War, being occupied at different times by both sides. During the Siege of Reading (1642–43), the Royalist garrison built defences that further damaged the remains of the Abbey, and Forbury Hill was used as a gun emplacement.
As a result of the concerns sparked in England by the French Revolution, and throughout the ensuing Napoleonic Wars, the Forbury was used for military drills and parades, in addition to its well-established use for fairs and circuses. Three annual fairs were generally held on the Forbury, but the most significant was the Michaelmas Fair, held in September. This fair became known as the Reading Cheese Fair, although cattle, horses and hops were also sold, and it served as the principal local hiring fair.
On a more up to date subject , Forbury Gardens made the headlines with the news of some stabbings ----
On 20 June 2020 shortly before 19:00 BST, a man with a knife attacked people who were socializing in Forbury Gardens, Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom. Three men died from their wounds, and three other people were seriously injured. A 25-year-old Libyan male refugee named Khairi Saadallah was arrested nearby shortly afterwards. Saadallah was a former member of the Libyan militant group Ansar al-Sharia. He was charged with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder; he pleaded guilty. In January 2021, Saadallah was sentenced to life imprisonment.
