The closing act? The vaunted F units have found life after being discarded by Norfolk Southern, hope the next act last many years.
Reading in public places is always a good image to me. This time it just gets better.

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 Scania demonstrator YN16CFU, a Scania N250UD / Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC temporarily numbered 778 in the Reading fleet, seen near Heatherwood Hospital in February 2018.
I was so inspired by my mom's idea of seeing a picture in Explore and then hopping in the car to go see the sight for herself - in her case it was to see poppies growing on the hills in Southern California www.flickr.com/photos/75885098@N05/32440176737/in/datepos... - that I wanted to do something similar myself.
I didn't find anything that fit the bill so my mom then suggested I go to Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, a place we both loved when she came to visit. So, George and I hopped in the car and drove there on a day, alas, when the Dutch Eating Place was closed. It's an Amish diner that serves turkey dinners. Their mashed potatoes and gravy are worth an hour drive just on their own. The rest of the market is the icing on the cake. Or the gravy on the potatoes. :-)

Located at Hills Meadow Car Park in Caversham, which is next to Reading Bridge.
The structural highlight of the Little Schuylkill Branch is Tamaqua Tunnel, 3 or 4 miles north of downtown. Here's the NRFF (North Reading Fast Freight) roaring out of the north portal which obviously is heavily guarded by vegetation.
Today we're gonna take a big look at the Little Schuylkill Branch. The branch today serves as R&N's defacto mainline from Port Clinton to Haucks, complete with a signal system that the R&N put in themselves.

My collection of Westerns is slim to say the least. A trip out to Reading in 1974 got me Hussar and Stalwart.
Snow fell on many parts of the south in early February 2019 and Fleet was no exception. Reading Buses used their Tiger-branded Scania K270UB / Alexander Dennis Enviro300 B42F 414 YR13PMV 'John Vaughan' on the service as seen at Fleet Station.
This particular part of Kennet Side has changed very little since I attended Newtown School - the building almost in the centre of the photograph - almost 60 years ago. Behind the school you can just see a gasometer in its downward position. I seem to recall there were two and both dominated the skyline and surrounding houses when they were at their maximum height.
The bridge across the river is the railway line from Reading to London Waterloo.
