Thank you very much for visiting my blog.
Writing, and, mostly showing photos about Lancaster County’s Strasburg Railroad, was always on my mind. Many times I had the opportunity to ride these beautifully restored and maintained steam locomotives. Fascinated by the mighty metal parts moving gigantic wheels, the smoke and steam, the sound of the whistle and the surrounding history I always took a number of photos. These remind me about the days when friends, family and I embarked on a one hour or so train ride at pretty much any season.
It is exciting when one hears the whistle of the approaching train. After this, train not visible yet, black smoke can be seen above the train mechanic shop and a little while later there she finally appears. I am sure that there will be many more photos, mostly thanks to the well organized team of engineers maintaining this railroad.
Please enjoy these photos about the Strasburg Railroad and its surrounding area in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
