The driver of 60 039 Dove Holes gives a wave as it approaches Woodborough Loop with 6B33, the 13:35 Theale - Robeston empty tanks
As it was running nearly half an hour early it missed the booked stop in the loop. It also meant it passed in full sun

Friends, in Bills, Reading, Berkshire.

Voor het thema flexibel heb ik gekozen voor de boomtoppen van de Berk. Om te benadrukken hoe flexibel ze zijn heb ik een lange sluitertijd genomen.
For the theme flexible I chose the treetops of the Birch. To emphasize how flexible they are, I took a long shutter speed.
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.

Nickel Plate 765 leads one of the excursions that was part of the ill-fated 1988 NRHS convention through West Trenton, New Jersey. This trip went from North Jersey through Philadelphia to Reading and the Blue Mountain & Reading, returning through Allentown.

Het was niet de eerste maal dat ik deze berk opzocht. Dit jaar gebeurt dat waarschijnlijk niet.

It was not the first time I had visited this birch. It will probably not happen this year.

Det var inte första gången jag besökte denna björk. I år kommer det troligen inte att ske.

Alleenstaande berk. Het lijkt erop dat de zon gaat doorbreken.

Ensamstående björk. Det verkar att solen ska bryta igenom dimman

Lonely birch. It seems the sun will break through the fog.

Pere Marquette #1225 poses on the former PM New Buffalo turntable at the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso. The photo shoot was put on for members of the Pere Marquette Historical Society, the 1225 was posed in a number of different spots around their property. The engine was dressed as it would've appeared late in life on the C&O: visored headlight, flying number boards, and large font letters and numbers. The white running boards have also been repainted black, though there is some debate among PM historians as to whether any of the 1200s actually had their white trim painted over, or if they just got so dirty that they appeared black. Since so few color photos of these engines in revenue service exist, it is difficult to say.
While very similar in appearance to the rest of the AMC Berkshires, the PM 1200s posses some unique characteristics that set them apart. Most notable are the jacketed smoke box and fire box, along with the boiler tube pilot. Unlike the Nickel Plate's Berks, the PM engines were equipped with plain bearings on all axles, the PM being far too frugal for roller bearings. The PM engines also used slightly larger cylinders than their NKP cousins, allowing them to make a bit more horsepower and tractive effort. While some PM 1200s were equipped with trailing truck booster engines, none of the N1 class (of which 1225 is member of) was.
The former New Buffalo turntable was brought to SRI in the early 2000s. As built, it was 90 feet long and was actually too small to turn the 1200s, requiring temporary extensions whenever one was turned. The table was permanently lengthened when it was installed in Owosso.
A short hike into the January woodland and the only green observed was the moss ..... of course !! Berks County, Pennsylvania
59202 'Pride of Ferrybridge' draws to a halt in the down loop at Woodborough, while 59001 'Yeoman Endeavour' and 66537 head 6a50, a Whatley Quarry to Hanwell Bridge loop stone working.
Stone traffic on the Berks and Hants route was particularly buoyant in late 2024. This was not a particularly unusual day, but on this day seven freight trains worked through Woodborough in a 90 minute period.
The December 2023 recasting of the train plan for trains out of the Somerset quarries together with continued high demand for aggregates are the reasons: the timetable change has concentrated loaded trains from the quarries to run in the morning.
