Holly is our advertising model today for reading, and for choosing fun and appropriate books! I am not so sure she should have picked a book about a mouse . . . Hmmm. :)

“..reading a book doesn’t mean just turning the pages. It means thinking about it, identifying parts that you want to go back to, asking how to place it in a broader context, pursuing the ideas. There’s no point in reading a book if you let it pass before your eyes and then forget about it ten minutes later. Reading a book is an intellectual exercise, which stimulates thought, questions, imagination.” ~Occupy
Norfolk Southern 1067, the Reading Heritage Unit, is in charge of manifest train MG3AH as it rolls past the famous JB Tower in West Chicago, IL, on this very cold and windy April afternoon. Prior to 2022, foreign leaders had been forbidden on the Union Pacifc's Geneva Sub due to ATC Cab Signal requirements. Once PTC went into full effect on the Geneva, then it became anything goes. While foreign leaders are still rare, they do happen with a decent frequency. Rarer still though is catching a foreign Heritage Unit, such as 1067 here. I believe this was the unit's 2nd round trip leading on the Geneva since PTC started, but what makes this trip special is 1067 is looking resplendent having emerged from the paint shop just days before, and is on one of its first revenue runs after being cleared for service.
Since I am home most of the time now, I am looking for things around the house to shoot. These are my reading glasses.
Macro Mondays: Everyday Carry
"This week, set your wallet/keys/phone aside and check your pockets or purse for the lip balm, pocket knife, lighter, flashlight, inhaler, multitool, floss, whistle, etc. that's always with you when you walk out the door."
For me this would also be glasses and a book, good thing I usually carry a big purse! :) Sometimes when you are waiting at an appointment or being on your lunch break it is good to have a book to read.
Thanks to all for your visit! HMM!
Thanks to some tips from a group of friends, when things went south on a chase of the Delaware Lackawanna PO-74, I was able to intercept the return trip of a Reading & Northern OCS turn from Jim Thorpe. There was some waiting involved but it was a good time with friends old and new in some great early Fall-like weather.

The weekly Conrail power move from Reading to Enola approaches its destination as it crosses the Rockville Bridge. This assemblage of local power from Reading, usually predominated by former Reading SW900’s, SW1500’s, and MP15’s, could also include GP10’s, GP15-1’s and GP38’s. These locos were mostly assigned to five-day a-week jobs, and were serviced at Enola on the weekends. This day’s lineup included eight SW900’s, an MP15, a GP38-2, a GP15-1, and an outlier SD50.
I tend to go stir crazy if there is not a pile of books to read. Internet reading is ok but a physical book is even better.
Another cold day with my son at home feeling a little poorly after his second vaccination.

Reading is one of my passions, an escape for a few hours, where I can be transported to a whole new world of mystery, thrills or drama, depending on what mood I fancy. I must admit that these days I tend to read more on my Kindle app, very convenient being able to enlarge the text but nothing can quite beat the smell and feel of a real book.
Thanks for viewing and HCT 😀

Using a magnifying glass to highlight certain parts. Today's Age Newspaper along with a toy Christmas soldier. This magnifying glass has 2 parts - a larger green less magnifying part and a smaller green higher magnification. One of the reasons I like eBooks is that you can change the font size very easily for ageing eyes! HSoS this hot summers day in Melbourne
