I went to catch No. 90 returning with the 12 noon train.
The ancient cemetery at Carpenters offers views of the line.
For these photos, I held my Fuji X-T1 at arms’ length and composed using the adjustible rear display.
My goal was to make photos here that were different than those I’ve made here previously.

I like 2-6-0s. Old Canadian National No. 89 is a fine looking machine.
It has been getting a work out this summer and I’ve seen it on numerous runs between East Strasburg and Leaman Place over the Strasburg Rail Road.
A couple of weeks back a clear evening made for ideal conditions to catch the 7pm train on its return run from Leaman Place.
I exposed this telephoto view as the train worked upgrade near Carpenters.

Sunday morning Kris and I went out to watch Strasburg Rail Road.
I set up for the returning 11 am train at Carpenters cemetery.
As the train approached, I made photos with both my Lumix LX7 and Nikon Z7-II with 70-200mm Z-series zoom.
In post processing, I converted the Z7-II file to make a black & white photo.
Which do you like better?
