However  we were delayed, and the best that I could do was to reach East Strasburg Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The railroad had a Thomas-the-Tank event going on earlier in the day. While, normally, I avoid these events, which are geared toward a much younger enthusiast and tend a attract big crowds, in this case the event worked to my advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make room for the Thomas train, the railroad had cleared out a row of equipment that had been stored on the siding adjacent to the run-around track opening up a classic view of the station. Normally this stored equipment blocked the view (and the evening sun light) from the north side of the tracks  of an in-coming train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So our tardy arrive produced some fortuitous photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"315\" data-attachment-id=\"37194\"
