<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our October visit with Reading & Northern 2102, Kris and I arrived at Reynolds, near Atlas Park in South Tamaqua, Pa., a good five minutes before the expected passage of the return excursion from Jim Thorpe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our friend Pat Yough had first shown me this spot a dozen years ago, and I’ve returned several times to photograph Reading & Northern trains. This was my latest visit to the location, and the latest in the day that I’ve explored it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the most of the drama of the locomotive and the colorful autumn foliage in the late sunlight, I worked with three cameras. I had my Z6-III fitted with a 24-70mm zoom, set to 24mm and mounted on a 3Pod tripod, while I worked with a Z7-II and 70-200mm lens handheld for flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To preserve the scene for future generations, I also exposed a lone photograph with my father’s old Leica M4. I’ll be very curious to see what the color slide looks like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
