Thank you. Yes, went north to NJ for a nice family gathering. Fortunately I had good weather on some days. I couldn't help but recall my overcast days shooting Kodachrome, carefully rewinding my K-64 into its canister while noting my exposure count and starting a roll of K-200, then reversing the process when skies cleared. No more of that, thank heaven. Tho, K-200 was great stuff and it saved my skin many times.

Ah memories from the good old days. Changing the ASA mid-roll was always fun. I forgot to mark my film a couple of times. Not a fun darkroom surprise. It's so nice now change it any time you want & even use auto ISO.

The LV's branch to Flemington, NJ left the main at Flemington Junction. Here's the Flemington Junction station on 04/01/2017 -and in its glory days-:

For a brief while longer, N&W Position Light ("PL") Signals prevail at Marion, VA. They'll be replaced within the month with modern types. Ugh.

The Reading built many splendid depots along its lines, a number of which contained housing for their Agents. This station at Hopewell, NJ on their mainline between Philadelphia New York City was built in 1876 for the Delaware & Bound Brook Railroad. I'm not sure how the station is being used; passenger service ended in the early 1980s on this line. A similar station at Pennington, NJ also survives.

What a beautiful station building that is. It's nice that someone is taking very good care of it. :encouragement:

Went to shoot the WPB Station again. Suddenly bells and gates start closing. And me with the 70-300 still on the camera. :sorrow:

Thanks. They are what they are. The vertical is decent. The last one I would have like to have been wider show the trucks and more of the station. The sidewalk is only a few feet from the tracks.

Want to catch the Brightline at the station. Have only seen it out once and me in someones office and no camera.
Oh well another day.
