Even Photographers are represented at the PA Railroad Museum. I took over 200 shots there yesterday so I hope I don't bore too many with all the postings I figure I will do as I sort through these.

Great shot. The only thing that could have made it better would have been a CPL to remove the reflections in the glass

Here's a view of a Steam Locomotive you don't get very often. They have a pit in the museum you can go in to get a look at the underside. Hope these museum shot have not bored you yet Most likely there will be a few more.

Summer Snow?????? No just a million May Flies buzzing around a light down by the river.

This is the kind of shot I like. The unusual shot that you normally see. Very nice.

This is the Wrightsville-Columbia Bridge over the Susquehanna River. At 6657 feet it is considered the world’s longest concrete multiple-arch bridge. It was constructed in 1929 and opened in 1930. The pillars in front of the bridge that are covered with trees and other vegetation is what remains of a covered bridge. That bridge was burned 150 years ago during the South's invasion of Pennsylvania.

This third generation company has been in business since 1925 and at this location since circa 1930.

Interesting History Alan, thanks for sharing...

Thanks Pat. History is one of the other things I like to do. This year they actually built bonfires on those pillars to mark the 150th. I just was not able to make but there would have been some great photos as they did it after dark.

It's always good for photos to tell a story but icing on the cake when the "rest of the story" so to speak, is revealed.

The PA Railroad Museum has a large Lego display that the kids can make run by pushing various buttons.

Sadly the end of an era. There was a new chocolate plant opened on the other side of Hershey last year. Now they are tearing down the plant that has been in downtown Hershey since the beginning.
