Last week, I caught up with fellow photographer, author and Trains contributor Dan Cupper, who offered to spend the day showing me railroads in the Lancaster\/Strasburg area of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the places we visited was the archives\/meeting house of the Lancaster Chapter, Inc., National Railway Historical Society which is located in the old Pennsylvania Railroad freight house at Christiana, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I’d visited this the passenger station earlier in the week, the day our our visit had much better weather. Also, it was my first ever visit inside freight house where we were met by the chapter’s Stephen Himpsl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the things we explored were views of the freight station and the old passenger station from both sides of the former PRR Main Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passenger station hadn’t served in its intended role since the 1950s, but had been restored and was in good shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a variety of images using my Nikon mirrorless cameras including those presented here. Most received post-processing adjustment using Adobe Lightroom to better present the data captured by the camera’s NEF RAW files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to come on our explorations at Christiana and other nearby locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
