For our final video of the summer, we chose to highlight one of our favorite railfan destinations: The Strasburg Rail Road. A four and a half mile long short line that runs through the farmlands of Lancaster County, one of Pennsylvania's most scenic areas. Strasburg is famous for it's tourist excursion trains pulled by their turn of the century steam locomotives, which carry hundreds of thousands of people a year on a journey back in time. Please enjoy our video of this popular Pennsylvania attraction, and check out the railroad itself by following the link below! Enjoy!

    Number 90 is a beast! My favorite steam locomotive in the Strasburg Railroad locomotive list! Clean and majestic sounding bell, and a powerful whistle!

    I'm a railfan (specificall a PRR fan), and I live in Lancaster. I go to the Strasburg RR whenever I can. I didn't grow up here, but I remember family trips when I was young, and I was hooked. Whenever I get depressed, I go to strasburg, and it cheers me right up. Unfornaturnately My only child (my daughter) doesn't share my love of steam power (hell, she's not a railfan by any stretch of the imagination). One of the locomotives scared the hell out of her when she was about 3 - a pop-valve blew and the noise scared her. There's a similar story about about me that pertains to a Blue Angels show back in the late 60's, so I became an aviation fan as well as a rail fan - go figure!

    My maternal grandmother lived out in Lancaster County while I was growing up, and every now and then, she (or my parents) would take me for a ride on the Strasburg Railroad. I credit this short line (and a certain blue tank engine) with engendering a deep passion for trains and railroads within me.

    I grew up in Lancaster county and it is one of my favorite destinations in Pennsylvania. South central PA has the best stuff to see (I. E. Hershey, Harrisburg, & Gettysburg). Everytime I go to this region, it feels like coming home. The farmland, food, historic attractions etc. If you can't afford Disney or Hawaii, go do a 2 week vacation here. You'll have plenty to do, trust me. Strasburg Railroad, Hersheypark, Sight and Sound, Gettysburg National Park, the State Capitol building, Dutch Wonderland, Amish Farms etc.

    I'm not quite sure about it being the oldest continually operating shoreline railroad in North America. I think many people get confused with specific statements like these. Now it is the oldest name that is still used for a rail operation in North America however not the oldest continually operating. I belevie that the Sierra Railway / Sierra Railroad is the oldest CONTINUALLY operating railroad in at least the U.S. A train has operated on the original right of way every single year since 1897. Anybody feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

    As I understand it, Strasburg is a "Mecca" for current main, (and off main) live Steam locomotive parts and services here in the U.S., (and possibly overseas as well). I DO understand that ya'll have a wheel lathe, (as was used on ex-GTW 6325), but what else do you offer? Point being, how cool would it be to do a video on your back-shop(s)? Personally, I think it would hold a LOT more interest than watching your Decapod "choo-choo" and N&W 611, (there's only some much you can do with that right?) I'm not trying to insult you here as you have a nice operation and wish you much prosperity, but us "blood and guts" Steam guys would love to see more of how you and the "former Giants of the Mainline" utilize your operation.
