You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
Move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains
Still dressed in green, the formidable 'hard climb' dominates the background as a westbound rolls through Bena just before sunset.

A bitterly cold and misty day in Northumberland today so a trip up to Hadrian's Wall seemed in order. I was hoping for a bit of sunset colour but, sadly, the sun and the clouds hadn't read the script.
So, not the shot I was after but a couple of hours out with a camera can't be all bad. I'm hoping that the frostbite won't be too severe. :-)
Reading and Northern local freight QADE (Tamaqua to Delano turn) is paused at MP 4.8 on the RBMN's Reading Division - Morea Running Track. They are up near the end of the line waiting for a hot car to be finished unloading at the busy Stella Jones pole yard. This rarely photographed branch is accessed via a 7 mile trip up the mainline to Haucks, then 6 miles up the Hazleton Line to Delano Jct., then reverse direction 3 miles to Morea Jct., then 5 miles out to this point high up on Broad Mountain. The elevation here is 1650 ft and amazingly less than three quarters of a mile to the north down below in the valley some 400 ft lower is the RBMN's Mahanoy and Shamokin branch thru Mahsnoy City.
Those tracks far below are former Reading but up here on the mountain is former Lehigh Valley Railroad dating from before 1870 I believe, and in the last years of the LV this was designated the New Boston Branch. Interestingly the Pennsylvania Railroad also ran thru here as their Schuykill Branch connected with the LV in New Boston and they had trackage rights into Hazleton via this line and even ran a named passenger train from Hazleton to Philadelphia in the 1920s.
While the old Morea Colliery is but a memory Skytop Coal company up here still loads a car or two on occasion, but what sustains the line these days is inbound loads of poles and pellets for Poly Plastics up the branch. Bracketing the train is RBMN 2012 on this end and 2011 on the rear. Both are EMD GP38-2s built with high short hoods for the Southern Railway in Sep. 1979 and Oct. 1976 as SOU 5256 and 5184 respectively.

Despite the naysayers; 4014 was doing the work from the rear while shoving north along the Omaha riverfront. I don't think I've shot a train from this pedestrian overpass since the original 2 heritage units (1982/1983) were unveiled in 2005!

Up The Stairs. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
A woman pauses at the bottom of a staircase, San Francisco.
This was one of those unexpected opportunities that make me operate on pure instinct, with almost no time to carefully think about what I’m doing. I saw the staircase in this fascinating light because we were at this concert hall in the daytime instead of at time. I quickly whipped out the iPhone and framed a shot of the stairs. The masked woman — whose presence makes this a very different photograph than it might have been — was completely serendipitous.
We sometimes dismiss iPhone photography as not being serious. Well, some people do — but more and more folks recognize that it has its place. I wouldn’t normally carry a “real camera” to a symphony concert, but I do almost always have the phone. In this situation I was able to deploy it quickly, make a few adjustments, and capture a raw image that otherwise would have escaped.
