Strasburg Photo Charter: Part 2

[2GUNBOY]

That was a Keystone Service, not a Pennsylvanian.

Great footage!

[w29bum]

does anyone know why #90 isnt running that much anymore at strasburg?

[boberttrain831]

@w29bum out of all of my visits to the railroad since june, 90 was always one of the locomotives operating. Strasburg does have 4 steam locomotives so maybe they're trying to use others for a change. I can assure you that 90 is getting a lot of usage on the SRR

[modeltrainman12345]

@boberttrain831 could be a sign that 90 will be going down for her 15 year rebuild soon

[modeltrainman12345]

@boberttrain831 I stand corrected she was going down for a one year rebuild sorry if there was any confusion.

great shots! I love #90...I've always thought though, that an engine as big as old #90 should have a deep, deep whistle...

[TVRM610]

It's rare to see #90 on a freight charter, and the Amtrak train ruined the shot of a

1930's era freight train.

[Miketherailfan]

Probably when 90 was built, most wooden freight cars were replaced by their steel counterparts.

@TVRM610 Think of it is as a meeting of both old and new technolgies

[jerjar2]

Awesome whistle!

[CSXkid22]

great video! I caught an Amtrak Strasburg meet too when I was there a few weeks ago!

[sktrjoe]

where did #90 go in the video cause at 1:28 I see him on the old main line

[Miketherailfan]

The train was on the runaround track, which is right next to Amtrak's Keystone Corridor.

[tylercra]

Love the amtrak meet!

[Miketherailfan]

That meet was purely luck. I had no idea it was coming until I heard the welded rail start to hum.

[rrtimetables]

Last time I was there - in 69 - it was a GGI hauling a Penn Central passenger train west that went by while my 7th grade class was on the train! LOL! Three tracks on the mainline then, too!

[railroadfan]

I love that first whistle, Mike.... best I've ever heard #90 sound. Nice runby!

[Miketherailfan]

You bet, Kelly sure can make 90 sing...

[Walschaerts90]

Nice to see Erich at the throttle....

[Draco677]

[redsoxfan423]

Cool! I remember when I went to Strasburg when I was little and when we got to the end of the line, an Amtrak came by. Perfect timing!

[CSXSD70M]

old and new!! love it

[cmdrflake]

Very well done by all! Mike, Carl and the Strasburg know how to do this, and do it well.

[Treyvs]

gotta love Strasburg

[RRConductor7]

Great video, eventhough those are old 90's true colors, I personally think she looks better in Strasburg black, gold and oxide.

[Engineer5344]

now how often do you ever see that. it's one impressive sight. is that all the freight cars they could put behind 90. i think could of done better than that.

[ic6071]
