Missed this today by seconds.

Those rail grinding trains are quite the sight at night with sparks flying everywhere!

Former B.& O. passenger station in Grafton, WV in 1986 [Nikon N2020, Nikkor 80-200mm, Kodachrome 64] Built in 1911. Such pride, materials, craftsmanship and resulting permanence is rarely seen in architecture today.

Nice shots Alan! I've been to the Strasburg Railroad twice, but have never had the time to spare to see the Museum across the road. After seeing your photographs, I feel moved to see it all soon. That PP&L locomotive looks like a "fireless cooker", i.e. a Thermos bottle on wheels. They'd charge it from plant steam and run it about. So they're going to build a roundhouse? Wow -- that will be an awesome sight and it'll help protect the equipment indoors. Mother Nature is not a kind host!

Hello Smittler,

These are a very cool report of your visit! You B&W rendition is vivid and dynamic.
Your blacks are deep without being sinister!

Please remember, B&W shots "need" to be a tad bigger to be fully appreciated.

Have a good time!

Thanks kodiak, always nice to get feedback. It was so busy in there and its difficult to get a shot without people getting in the way or without it looking like its in a museum.

Good call. It is indeed a Thermos. They have changed the museum a lot since the last time I was there. Well worth the trip. We went because a picture of my Grandson taken by my daughter is hanging there. It is actually the first picture when you enter the hall.

Wow Alan -- that's really nice. Perfect composition and vignetting (is that the word?) too. Makes me smile just to look at it. No. 90 is ex-Great Western (of Colorado) and earned its keep hauling sugar beet trains. It has a smaller sibling that's as lovely - ex-Great Western No. 60, a 2-8-0 that is again running on the Black River & Western in central NJ after many years out of service.

Thanks. I was in the outside yard of the museum when he pulled in. I had to shoot this from across the street.

I saw this train today and I thought about this thread so I knew I must get a shot of it.
