One of BNSF’s ubiquitous C44-9Ws and another roster mate bring up the markers on an eastbound doublestack awaiting departure from Terminal Island, meanwhile MSC container ship Vandya, anchored in the background, will eventually repeat the process.
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.

An unusually late CSXT/Pan Am train LA-2 (local freight from Lawrence) that normally comes down to Boston under the cover of darkness surprised me when they showed up right in the midst of the morning rush hour as I was getting off work. The Terminal dispatcher made quick work allowing them to come down off the New Hampshire Route High Line up to the front ladder and then make their reverse move back east toward Reading Junction and over on to the Eastern Route to clear up in the Coke Works at Everett Junction.
About 90 min later they were all done with that and ready to head home light engine. They are seen here holding at the Back Ladder before getting a light north back up the New Hampshire Route whence they came.
The pair of B40-8s (MEC 5976 and 5958) paused momentarily on Main 3 to wait their turn while Keolis/MBTA train 145 outbound for Newburyport passes by on Main 1 behind GP40MC 1128. In the background just across the Charles River can be seen TD Garden, and North Station the ancestral home of the Boston and Maine and a place that can draw a direct thru line to Pan Am. The present arena opened in 1995, and its predecessor met the wrecking ball three years later after serving for 70 years, having been built by the B&M in 1928.

There were no waves so you could watch the water slowly creeping up Fairlie beach as the tide came in, gradually filling in the wee ridges and gullies in the sand.
