Reading & Northern freight at Pittston Junction.

We called into Pittston Junction, Pennsylvania in the early evening, just in time to catch several Reading & Northern trains on the move.

Using my Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, I made this sequence of photos of a job working the former Lehigh Valley Railroad Coxton Yard. I also finished off a roll of 35mm Kodak Ektachrome making photos of the classic wig-wag style grade crossing signal.

Although once common, the wig-wag signal is now virtually extinct.
