Just Another Day in Paradise (and Strasburg)

On July 5th, 2013, Big Jim Video Productions visited the Strasburg Rail Road once again (similar to a visit on July 4th last year). While there was no mixed freight train in the morning (no cars scheduled to be delivered by Norfolk Southern), both 2-10-0 #90 and 2-6-0 #89 were pulling the day's scheduled passenger trains - and the weather was beautiful. I got a few angles that I haven't gotten in a while, as well as some different takes on traditional angles as well. There was even a meet at Leaman Place between #89 and the eastbound Amtrak Pennsylvanian. Enjoy - and visit www.bigjimvideo.com for more!

    +Nicholas Jurczak Had you been out there this past year? 475 and 89 were the only two operating steamers there in 2016 - so if you went during a busy period, you were practically guaranteed to see 475 at least. :)

    Yes, there are some days where they run #475, some days where they run #90, some #89, some when they run two - it all depends on maintenance schedules, and how busy they are. If it's during an "off-peak" time, they may just run #89 and 5 or 6 cars - it all depends on the time of the year, really.
