Groffs Grove picnic station stop. Strasburg Pennsylvania USA. August 1990.

This is the Groffs Grove picnic station stop on the Strasburg Railroad. The inbound train on the left picks up and drops off passengers here, while the train on the right passes around the stopped train on the passing siding. Great Western Railroad Number # 90 is pulling into the Groffs Grove station , while Number # 31 waits for it to clear the siding switch so that it can proceed down the branchline trackage to Paradise Pennsylvania. Number # 31 has just emerged from maintenance and repairs at the Strasburg Railroad's Enginehouse, and is seen making a test run on the railroad line. I had a fun week out in the rural southeast pennsylvania countryside.
