Steam Specials...on the Blue Mountain & Reading/Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern
I am starting this thread which is where I will post screenshot of the fabulous Reading & Northern route by Jointedrail. Feel free to post your own shots of the Reading Here too. My shots will include modern day ones of the 425 and RBM&N, and older ones of 2102 and 425 on the BM&R. I will start of with a series of 100 shots on the Blue Mountain & Reading in the 1990s.
Below: BM&R425 prepares to lead a steam special as 2102 waits by Port Clinton station.
Below: Off the rear vestibule of the #1 "Black Diamond leaving Port Clinton.
Below: 425 and train winding their way into the fields outside of Port Clinton.
Below: A glimpse of 425 and her water tender through the bushes between Port Clinton and Tamaqua.
Below: The #1 "Black Diamond" brining up the rear, with a Reading Anthracite drumhead behind #5 and super dome #4.
Below: 425 through Tamaqua
Below: The Four and a Quarter past Mahanoy Junction on the embankment above the lane.
Below: Coming off the fill and crossing a lane.
Below: 425 on the Hometown High Bridge.
I will post more later. I hope you enjoy these shots.
