I’m always trying to come up with catchy titles for my individual Tracking the Light Posts to entice you to read them.

I could have titled this; ‘2102, again.’ Or ‘Yet Another Photo of old Reading Company Rails,’ or perhaps, ‘OH YEAH, THIS was worth the wait!’

In retrospect, perhaps that last one was better . . .oh well, there’s always tomorrow’s post.

On the afternoon of October 5th, Kris and I were poised at Zehners, near South Tamaqua, Pa., waiting to catch Reading & Northern’s 2102 leading the return leg of the day’s Fall Foliage Excursion that had run between Reading Outer Station and Jim Thorpe.

Low sun made for dramatic lighting, and it really was worth the wait! Sometimes it pays to stick with it, even when you’ve been out all day making photos.

I made this series of photos using my Nikon Z mirrorless cameras.
