@TVRM610 Think of it is as a meeting of both old and new technolgies
-
@boberttrain831 I stand corrected she was going down for a one year rebuild sorry if there was any confusion.
-
@boberttrain831 could be a sign that 90 will be going down for her 15 year rebuild soon

@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

That was a Keystone Service, not a Pennsylvanian.
-
Great footage!
-
does anyone know why #90 isnt running that much anymore at strasburg?
-
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!
-
great shots! I love #90...I've always thought though, that an engine as big as old #90 should have a deep, deep whistle...
It's rare to see #90 on a freight charter, and the Amtrak train ruined the shot of a
1930's era freight train.

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

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

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