On Saturday (October 5, 2024) Reading & Northern 2102 made a stunning display of steam and smoke as it started out of Port Clinton on the next leg of its journey toward Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris and I stood along with other photographers looking across the old canal basin toward the bridges over the Schuylkill River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This place has been a cross roads of transportation for the better part of two centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 60 years ago, my father made photos of Reading T-1s on Iron Horse Rambles at Port Clinton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the gigantic steam locomotive accelerated away from its station stop and eased its train across the Schuylkill, the bark of its exhaust resounded and echoed across the narrow valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a series of photos using three cameras. One of my old Nikon F3s was loaded with Kodak Ektachrome, while I made telephoto views with my Nikon Z7-II, and wide angles with my Z6. The film is still in the F3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
