All,

Follow the above link to a few of my images from last week’s Lerro Productions “Reading & Northern #425” photo charter, with a bonus “Western Maryland #734” photo from what looks to be its last day of service for a while now. 

This is just the tip of the iceberg from an amazing three days of winter steam action.

Enjoy, 
Matthew

Oh my God, they're PERFECT!

Especially shots one and two, and especially two!  Steam, snow, and a young family. Christmas Card perfect!

More, more!  Show us more, Maestro!

Quick question since you were there:  Has Reading and Northen applied an old-style New Jersey Central type herald to the side of the tender?  It looks like it.  It would kind of fit as the locomotive was painted in a "Blue Comet" color scheme.

Thanks a bunch. Back before my time, my father was a conductor for the RDG. Always was a favorite of mine.

Have the appearance of painting more than photographs.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Well done Matthew, got to admit that is some professional photography and processing.  Thanks for sharing.
