20E Open Door Policy? No, Just Hatred
Title:  20E Open Door Policy? No, Just Hatred
Description:  A very late 20E heads through King at a slow and steady pace. The crew does not like us train fans, as they knew that an open door would derate our picture-hence the resulting view of the train below.

NS 2750 14G
Title:  NS 2750 14G
Description:  14G heads east with an M2/9W combo. Here's a funny story: the lengthy train picked up a little too much speed through the downhill bit through Dunkle, and when it jerked, a hose snapped, thus causing the train to go into emergency. This tied everything up for 2 hours.

RDG FP7A's With Old Rivets
Title:  RDG FP7A's With Old Rivets
Description:  My old Reading friends are here at Strasburg, and I needed this picture. It's seen here with the original 4800. A shame; such a proud engine reduced to a shell covered in ugly black, left to reduce into a pile of rusted metal. I say the museum should take better care of this engine.
