Reading & Northern’s 4-6-2 Pacific #425 was the draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 2014, this handsome steam locomotives was operating a series of holiday trips on the old Reading Company lines out of Port Clinton, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pat Yough offered to drive and so I traveled down by train to meet him and make photographs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, I was keen on investigating the FujiFIlm X-series mirrorless cameras as my next avenue for digital photography, so Pat lent me his Fuji XT1 to try out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, on that day I was also working with my Lumix LX7 and Canon 7D cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived at Port Clinton in the morning in time to catch 425 making some switching moves in preparation for its run up to Schuylkill Haven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I was extremely impressed by the Fujifilm camera that day and a month later I invested in one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The territory served by the old Reading Company also impressed me, and I’ve chosen this area as the setting for the model railroad that my girlfriend Kris Sabbatino and I are building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Kris, impressed by my results with the Fuji X-series has invested in a Fuji XT4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
