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.

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.
it's looking so much better in >BIIIG<

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.

a corner of my 2.5 year old daughter's bedroom filled with handmade and family-gifted goodness. bunting and pillow sewn by me, blanket knitted by my grandma, art from sarah jane studios. rug from my husband's grandpa's house, nightstand from my husband's bedroom set in his parents' house (repainted by me), and "Make Way for Ducklings," her current favorite book, gifted by my husband's parents after a trip to Boston. phew! lots of love in this one little corner! my daughter loves to snuggle up and read books at bedtime. we usually have to "cut her off" at three books or we'd be reading all night.
