Narrow guage steam train approaching. The Hesston steam Museum. Hesston Indiana USA. Late October 1991.

I took this photo on the last operating day of the season, way back in October of the year 1991.
The outside temperature was in the mid 40's with an occasional light rain. Although it was cold and damp, the photos I took that day made it all worthwhile. Seen here on the museum's mainline, is a meter guage / U.S 2 foot guage industrial 0-4-0T steam locomotive from the nation formerly known as Czechloslovakia.
The cold air and damp conditions made for many pleasant steam effects, while the overcast Indiana late fall sky added a work a day feel to this narrow guage railroad scene. After todays runs, the equipment would be put away for the winter months, and the museum would close.
