Strasburg Railroad # 31 on break in run after recieving repairs. Strasburg Pennsylvania USA. August 1990.

A partly cloudy day with hazy sunshine made for some excellent "Vintage" looking black and white vacation photographs. I photogrtaphed Strasburg Railroad No # 31 running backwards toward the end of the line a couple of miles or so from here at the Cherry Hill location. Number # 31 had just recieved boiler or possibly running gear repair maintenance at the Enginehouse that week, and was performing a Break In run to make sure that everything was working properly. Engine No # 31 is an 0-6-0 type Swithing locomotive that originally worked for the Canadian National Railroad. This was vintage reanactment photography at it's best, at least for Me anyway.
