This weeks Saturday Night Special is a pair of Reading Geeps. GP35 3628 and GP39-2 3420 are at Bethlehem, PA on March 27, 1976. Photograph by Charles Houser. In 4 more days the 3628 would become a Conrail locomotive and the 3420 would become the D&H 7420.
Reading By Candlelight may not be good for ones eyes but sometimes the stories really seem to come to life. Ones imagination can open a mind to the point where you feel the horse beneath you and feel the wind in your hair. When reading in a well lit room the horse may not be so fast and your hair not even get messy. My advice is to keep the candle burning and don’t fall off of your Stallion. Thanks for viewing my work. Gratitude and Kindness helps keep the imagination active.

The rolling hills of central Vermont make for unforgettable views of stunning rustic farms that would be right at home on the countryside in all fifty states. Home made maple syrup for sale on the farmhouse porch (using the honor system!) and a friendly dog to greet us made Jenne Farm a sentimental favorite spot from our week in New England.
I love reading, and seeing others immersed in a book brings me so much joy. I recently came across Steve McCurry's book featuring photos of people reading, and it reminded me of all the moments I’ve captured of readers. Here’s one of them.
A few days ago, the above art work appeared overnight on an outside wall of Reading Prison which has stood empty since it closed at the end of 2013. There was immediate speculation it was the work of the street artist Banksy whose identity has never been confirmed despite the fact his numerous works have appeared at various locations over a long period of years.
The paintings often form a social message and can be controversial. Reading Prison is very much a controversial place – it is owned by the Ministry of Justice who have been trying to dispose of it for the last 7 years. For them one of the problems is the property is designated a grade II listed building which means it cannot be demolished or substantially altered without prior consent from the Local Authority – Reading Borough Council. There have been calls for it to be used as a public amenity such as a theatre or arts facility and a deal to redevelop it has fallen through so in effect there has been little or no progress for 7 years.
Yesterday Banksy confirmed it was his art work although he did not shed any light on who the figure was supposed to be. Much of the local view is that it is a representation of Oscar Wilde, the Victorian actor, writer and poet who was incarcerated there from 1895 to 1897 – probably the prisons main claim to fame.
It is questionable as to whether the painting helps or hinders the current deadlock although it has provided some amusement for local residents in what is otherwise a depressing time!

The power of a westbound Conrail train has just uncoupled from its train to make a pickup in Reading, Pennsylvania. Six month old C40-8W 6062 still serves NS today as its 8321. I personally think it looked much better in blue.

Since I had my eye surgery I have reasonable distance vision (for the first time since I was seven!) but no close vision at all so my reading glasses are something I really can't live without.
ANSH 107 (3) can't live without it
One thing I've got down to a science is panning heritage units in bad weather leading their way past Harris Tower in downtown Harrisburg. This shot is no different as NS 1067, the Reading heritage unit, leads train 66Z east through the first feet of the Harrisburg Line.

Inspired from works by Candida Höfer. Her book the "Architecture of Absence" states ...images of the interiors of public and institutional spaces - spaces marked with the richness of human activity, yet largely devoid of human presence.
The Pan Am Railways OCS is seen passing through Reading, MA on the Reading Running Track. The Reading Running Track was a unique set up, but was taken away this weekend with a new interlocking cut in at Ash Street.
Reading (while the last rays of sunlight are shining in the room) the wonderful book of Hilary Mantel: "Wolf Hall".

Sitting on the edge of the dock reading the waves as they go by, relaxing and a way to escape the world for a moment.
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.
