Reading Buses have recently taken over running the Green Line 702 service from First Group. The service runs from Bracknell to London Victoria with some early morning and late evening services extending to Reading.
The route has seen a variety of different vehicle types used on the service including rebranded Alexander Dennis Enviro400 1208 GO11LDN from the Reading Buses fleet, seen near Heatherwood Hospital in February 2018. This bus was re-registered from SN11BRX in 2017.
If you can read this, thank a teacher.
I haven't read a book lately, I am so tied with the manuals of my new stuffs.
Plus textbooks that I have been studying.
What is the last book you read? Did you like it?
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.

Not knowing nearly as much as I needed to I arrived in Jim Thorpe behind the NRLE and saw the conductor riding the point of the shove into Jim Thorpe yard. This was kind of a surprise to me as I kinda figured they'd go north of COAL and shove these down their one main of the former LV across the river where there were already stored oil cars. So since I saw him shoving I figured they must be shoving them south of Jim Thorpe. That was wrong as well and luckily for me they ran around and then came south through town and past me on the way to Lehighton. This would be the only lit freight train, or any other train, through here during my visit. To the right of the searchlight across the river is the double track former LV. The tanks over there are stored on the track the R&N owns, the other track over there is NS track which now serves as nothing more than their route from Allentown to Hazleton until they decide to send through freight over the R&N again.
Today we'll take a look at R&N's former Carbon & Schuylkill. The C&S is the former CNJ from Haucks to Lehighton (Packerton Junction). The QAJT traverses the line a couple days a week out of Tamaqua to serve a couple plastics customers (at Hometown and Nesquehoning), the NRFF uses the line daily between Haucks (Carbon) and the new river bridge 2 miles above Jim Thorpe, backlit in the afternoon and after *dark coming back in the late evening. The only other moves are the occasional extras for equipment moves to and from the Lehigh Gorge Scenic's yard at Jim Thorpe and extras run for storage tanks that were pretty frequent through the early spring this year. The line is also the only non-signalled portion of the Reading-Pittston mainline.

Looking through some old photos, I came on this one taken exactly six years ago at a sale in St Paul's Church in Crawley. I didn't add it to Flickr then.
Reading and Northern NRFF grinds up the grade out of Tamaqua as it exits Tamaqua Tunnel. Thanks to #GRT for the tour.
I recently had been going through my archives looking for some other photos when I stumbled upon some previously unedited images that I had set aside to edit. So I did a few quick edits and will hopefully be presenting these images over the next several days. This is another of those photos.
On one of my few trips to the BNSF Chillicothe Sub in the final months of the famous Santa Fe-era signal bridges and cantilevers with searchlights, we happened to be exploring the line between Mazon & Ancona. We were on the way back from Ancona when we noticed an oncoming train in the east. We cut a beeline to the nearest crossing, which just happened to be a small cluster of houses south of Streator. The train turned out to be (if I remember correctly) NSIGAL, the train that comes off the Norfolk Southern Kankakee Sub on the south side of Streator. We had seen this train holding for orders or new crew earlier when we had been exploring around Streator.
Anyway, after the train passed, we noticed an odd little gravel drive that went through a cluster of trees next to the tracks. What we could not see from the road we would soon discover. Inside the trees we discovered this abandoned building. At first glance, we thought it was an abandoned farm building of some sort, you could see old hay through the collapsing walls.
But the more I looked at it, the more I thought it might be an old long-forgotten depot. This building's proximity to the railroad tracks seemed too suspicious to me, and the windows and door seen in the image did not seem like they belonged were original features, while the dual sliding doors also seen in this image clearly were not (and may have done more to compromise the stability of this building than anything else). The only way for us to know for sure was to find the tell-tale feature of almost every railroad depot, the bay window that the station agents used for seeing oncoming trains.
I should add, it had been raining all day this day, a very hard and steady rain that will soak you to the bone in minutes, and only with proper rain gear is it tolerable. Also, the grass here was knee-high and covered in poison ivy. Even though it meant soaked pants, socks, & shoes, and potentially getting poison ivy, we walked around to the trackside of the building. And just as I had predicted, there it was, the bay window! Granted, it was worse for wear, but still plain as day. So not only was this building a depot, we soon discovered that it was not listed in my friends listings of known depots!
With no idea of this place, a peek inside revealed this depot's life after retirement. Sometime after it was disused as a depot, it was converted to farm use of some sort. Either a second floor was added or the existing ceiling was lowered, with the new upper story used to store hay. This second floor had largely collapsed over time, but old rotten hay could still be seen matted to the floor like a pile of wet sheep's wool. The double doors were likely added about the same time and no doubt housed some sort of farm machinery.
Almost convinced we stumbled upon a mystery nearly lost to time, we called it quits and finally headed for home. Later that night, some research and Google Maps revealed what we had found. It turns out we were in the tiny blip of a town named Reading that sits between Streator and Ancona, and this was indeed the old Santa Fe Reading depot. It had never been moved and was indeed in its as-built location. My friend never did find it in is depot resources, and we could only speculate that its use as a farm building may have masked its life when that list of depots was compiled (I want to say his version dated from 2006 or so). About a year later, however, when we learned of DepotMaps.com, we were able to confirm our reasearch.
Sorry, I know this is long, so I'll sum up this way. We found this in October 2017. I have no idea if this thing still survives today, much less whether it's standing. But as of this writing, a look on Google satellite view shows what might be building walls or the outline of a foundation. It's just too hard to tell. And with no street views out in rural Reading, the only way to know is to drive by it.
