The pride and joy of the museum, GG1 4935, has been cosmetically restored to its original splendor. This locomotive is a beauty. |
|
The museum's other GG1, "Old Rivets", 4800 is proudly displayed in the outdoor yard along the road for all to see. My son was in awe of the locomotive during our July 2000 trip. |
|
PRR K4 3750 is one of two K4 Pacifics that have been preserved. The other is 1361 which will be displayed at the Altoona Railroaders Museum upon completion of cosmetic work needed after its years at Horseshoe Curve. |

|
Here is a GP30 on display in the outdoor yard. The GP30s were well know for their unusual rooftop design. |

June 1998 sees a museum worker hosing down a PRR Mountain. As of July 2000, the locomotive has been painted all black for eventual repainting. |

Reading FP7s 902 and 903 visited the museum in July 2000. The FP7s were seen pulling Reading trains bound for Jersey City. The locomotives pull excursion trains in the Pennsylvania area, as one can see ditch lights on the front of each locomotive. |
|
Locomotive 903 was open for those who wished to see the engine and cab layouts. On a hot July day, the inside of the locomotive felt like a sauna. The little head peering out of the cab window is my son. |

Strasburg number 90, a 2-10-0, pulls out of the Strasburg Yard with its evening train. |

Another shot of the locomotive. This side shot is from June 1998. |
|
One of the museum's newer features include E44 4465. The locomotive was originally donated by Amtrak in black and silver, then delivered to Conrail's Juniata Shops for repainting into PRR's Brunswick Green. The locomotive sits in the older part of the museum, and the lighting is not as good. This is July 2000. |
|
Using a telephoto lens, and standing on the Red Caboose Motel's front yard, one can get a great view of the Strasburg Railroad's yard as seen in this July 2000 photo. |
|
From our room at the Red Caboose Motel, and using a telephoto lens, I caught this great late afternoon shot of the train yard. |
|
Riding the Strasburg Railroad gives the opportunity to see a steam locomotive under the wires (even if it's only a few hundred feet). This interchange is on Amtrak's electrified Philadelphia to Harrisburg line. |
|
Same area as above. The tankers in the background (under the bridge) are awaiting pickup by NS, as this is July 2000. |
|
Strasburg number 90 pulls into the station as passengers await the next train in this July 2000 photo. |
|
Strasburg number 90 prepares to change tracks so it may pull its next train in this May 1998 photo. This is done so the engines can get to the point of each departing train. The tracks continue across the street into the yard of the railroad museum. |
