Th Strasburg Railroad operates from its' namesake community to Leaman Place Jct, where it connects with the Norfolk Southern. It's only 4.5 miles long, but an impressive little railroad. During the summer, Strasburg typically will operate two trains, running just a few minutes apart. Some freight is hauled and it's right across the road from the impressive Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
This is locomotive #89, a 1910 product of the Canadian Locomotive Works, leaving Groffs. There are no picnickers today. A relatively light 2-6-0, the former Canadian National steam locomotive typically handles shorter trains.
