Seamus visits New Freedom

We paused at New Freedom, Pa., to inspect the historic railroad equipment and take Seamus for a walk.

I used this opportunity to make some photos my NikonZ cameras.

During our brief visit, the Northern Central Railway was boarding its midday Santa Express for its run up the valley of Codurus Creek toward Railroad, Pa.

What better place to explore railroad heritage than in this historic area?

Old Switcher at New Freedom

We arrived at New Freedom, Pennsylvania to find this former Maryland & Pennsylvania EMD SW9 switcher stored on a siding. It’s reporting marks indicate it is part of the Stewartstown Railroad roster.

I made a series of photos using my Nikon Z7-II and Kris’s Fujifilm XT4.

These are both excellent cameras but handle color differently.

I’ve identified the camera-lens combination on each photo.
