Tuesday morning, I delivered my class on Steam Locomotive Photography at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

As part of the class, students were encouraged to wander among and photograph the museum ‘s exhibits. I’d organized with Museum Director Pat Morrison to temporarily remove a few of the protective barriers around key steam locomotives in order to allow for better photographic access.

I chatted with members of the class, offered advice on equipment and discussed details of locomotives and photography. I also made these detailed photos using my Nikon Z mirrorless digital cameras.

My next class at the museum is scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
