Rich evening sunlight made for extraordinary conditions to photograph Strasburg Rail Road’s steam locomotives at work on its popular Santa’s Paradise Express<\/em> trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kris and I timed our arrival at Cherry Hill Road to neatly coincide the scheduled meet between trains on the siding at Groffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there was no snow, the show of steam and smoke was a testimony to classic seasonal railroading at its finest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with digital cameras allowed me to adjust the ISO setting as required to make the most of the passing trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next schedule sequence was even more rewarding, with an even more impressive show as the sun scraped the horizon. . . stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
