I find Pennsylvania a fascinating place to photograph trains as most of the state is rich in railroad history,? offers a variety of scenery and no shortage of trains with Conrail, CSX and shortlines.? Reading has long been an idea that I've wanted to explore but was intimidated by a lack of knowledge of the area.? As I recall Rob and I shot around 23 trains on the day of my visit.? Although we shot a nice variety of locations, I could see that we only scratched the surface.? There a variety of bridge shots, S curves,? scenes with older industrial backgrounds and some nice elevated shots. Thanks to Rob's intimate knowledge of the area I came away satisfied and eager to return.? If you like shooting today's railroads in a classic setting,? Reading is a great area. This is a great topic we have going now and I'm printing out the descriptions to incorporate some these spots into future road trips.
