Two of Reading and Northern's RDC Budd cars swing south through Landingville, PA, running from Pottsville to Jim Thorpe.
I've been wanting a doll who can do the reading pose, but never considered maybe the Little Juniors can. Yay!!! She needs glasses now!

Reading is freedom. It lets you escape in a healthy way and “live” another life, experiencing someone else’s world and emotions. It also allows you to take time for yourself while just existing in the moment.

Reading covered hopper 78440 was in the consist of a CSX train in March 2002, still wearing its original paint.
Fearless departs with the 10.18 from Penzance to Paddington.
This was the last day of the 1988 summer timetable. I had travelled to Exeter earlier in the day with the intention of getting this booked class 50 working to Reading. In the days before mobile phone gen, and without access to TOPS, this was a gamble. As it turned out, all was well. There was no unpleasant surprise when the train rolled in at Exeter, and no need to divert to the mule.
Sunday engineering work meant we were routed via Bristol Parkway, including a fast run through the centre road at Swindon, arriving some 20 minutes ahead of schedule at Reading. There was plenty of time to get across to platform 4a/b for the departure shot, via the subway, as the footbridge was under construction at the time.
Practising still life lighting tonight (and I need a lot of practise). This is lit with a combination of candlelight, flash and a torch.

A former Reading GP39-2 has led CSX Q216 into Philadelphia's Eastside Yard. This unit should be no stranger to Philly, although on this day it arrived via the rails of the former B&O.
CSXT 4317 GP39-2 (ex-RDG 3413, DH 7413).

If you use this as a texture, I'd appreciate it if you post a link back to the original picture. I'm also curious to see the result. Thanks!
In a rare bit of luck under heavy cloud cover the NRRB rolls along the Reading near Berne behind what would pretty much be the standard roustabout power during my visit.
I think I could easily adjust to living in such a house alongside the river ......... when I come up with all six numbers on the lottery!!
After finishing up at Yuengling 2532 goes around the Pottsville leg of the wye on the way home to West Cressona.
Continuing in my subject/slideshow fashion we'll take a look at the R&N around Pottsvile. They serve what I think is still a team track and 2 Yuengling breweries around town. The Pottsville Branch from Port Clinton ends at Pottsville Junction, a switch which is probably technically in Mount Carbon. There is about a half mile spur from there north towards downtown Pottsville while the Middleport Runner (the former Passenger Main as this was from Port Clinton to Tamaqua) goes about 10 or 12 miles to Middleport. About 2 miles up the runner past Pottsville Junction is Mill Creek Junction and the connection(s) with the Saint Clair Runner to Yuengling's brewery at the south end of the old Reading Co. St. Clair yard in Port Carbon. The track to this brewery had been abandoned but was put back in in 2002, a great opportunity as the arch bridges you'll see in this sequence are on the wyes of Mill Creek Junction which was the relaid track.
Thank you for your visit, comment, fave or invite, all are much appreciated.

Reading Blue Mountain & Northern T-1 no. 2102 is seen racing down the line between South Tamaqua and West Penn, as seen from the adjacent Clamtown Rd. The locomotive was originally built for the Reading Railroad as a 2-8-0 by Baldwin in 1925, but was rebuilt in-house into a 4-8-4 in 1945. The Reading discontinued steam operations in 1956, after which 2102 operated a variety of tourist and excursion services before being acquired by the current owners and eventually retired in 1991, later being restored to operating condition in 2022.
Looking to be well patronised, Saturday twenty-seventh of March offers a 2-hour charge to Exeter St Davids with D1010 'Western Campaigner' upon 09.30 London Paddington-Penzance service.
The Plymouth (possible engine change) and Cornish destinations follow a more arduous terrain, scheduled arrival of 15.40 at Penzance.
27th March 1976
R&N PISB charges past the former station at Old Forge PA along the former DL&W heading for customers in the Keyser Valley area on the west side of Scranton. We're near milepost 3 despite the Conrail and DL&W mileposts here stating otherwise. Also, why is there a lawnmower to the right of the mileposts? This was attempt No. 4 at this angle.
In this R&N storyline today we'll go after what I showed up looking for. The GP38-2's painted in the Reading Co's last scheme which was applied to their GP39-2 and GP40-2's.
I think I photographed 9 or 10 trains on the Scranton Branch during the trip. I fought clouds for much of it, though never on cloudy days. The branch is fantastic for photographers. In it's 7 or 8 miles between Pittston and Taylor there's side-by-side running with the former Lehigh Valley, a flyover, former DL&W mileposts, a through truss bridge, a former station, a cut, an S curve, and an iconic easy to do elevated shot. Traffic and timing are very consistent, Monday through Friday the PISB (Pittston-Scranton Branch) is pulling into Taylor between 830 and 9am. Weekends are a little different with the PISB doing double duty and handling the interchange with NS at Taylor. On these days they also usually split their power instead of keeping both engines on the head end. During my stay this job was the nearly exclusive domain of a pair of the RDG painted* GP38-2's.
The surprise was the Pittston yard job. When I showed up to Pittston for the first time since probably 2006 (Pittston back then had been my only experience with the R&N) I wasn't surprised to see a Caboose there. I was surprised to see it used the next day and then absolutely flabbergasted when I figured out that the normal move for the yard job was to shove the entire way up the Scranton Branch to Taylor! Every now and then there will be an exception where supposedly the hitch a ride on the rear of the PISB up there but it didn't happen while I was there watching (Though once or twice I would see it mentioned in John Cudo's post to the Friends of the Reading and Northern Railroad Facebook group).
Anyway usually late morning the YJPI1 shoves to Taylor Caboose-first and returns with it tucked in between the locomotives and the inbound interchange. The line orientation is more east-west than north south so the PISB is aiming into low sun in the morning and coming back towards the sun in the afternoon. The yard job makes itself a mid-day affair.
