Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in North, Central and South America! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

Strasburg Railroad: workshop

Post by John Ashworth »

They offer a workshop tour, timed so that you can ride the steam train first and arrive back with fifteen minutes to spare before the tour begins. It's an impressive workshop.
