Two weeks ago, Kris and I accompanied Wayne Duffett of TEC Associates on a detailed tour of railroad equipment, artifacts and models displayed at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is just a great place. I’m never bored amoung the beautifully restored and displayed engines and cars. Everytime I visit, I find something I’d never seen before. and I can never tire of seeing a magnificent GG1 electric dressed in the classic Loewy stripes. (And recall the New Year’s morning 43 years ago, when my dad, brother and I inspected this very same GG1 on the ready tracks at New Haven, Connecticut.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spend several hours gazing in awe at all the great relics of railroading past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airbrake training car was a real treat. I never knew that this restored in fully operational condition! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, I made more than 300 photos, working with my Nikon Z6 and Kris’s Fujifilm XT4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a bunch of side by side comparisons between the Nikon and Fuji cameras, but I’ll display those images in a future post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
