Kris and I were poised to catch Strasburg Rail Road’s return run from Leaman Place from Carpenters Cemetery—a small local graveyard adjacent to the railroad line.

This is accessed via a stone staircase off Blackhorse Road.

The train ascends a short grade on the approach to Blackhorse Road, while the cemetery offers a nice view of the landscape from a slightly elevated position.

I made this series of photos of the passing train using both my Z6 and Z7-II cameras.

It was interesting to see that a number of the graves predated the construction of the line by many years.
