A scene out of the 1950's. The Strasburg Railroad. Strasburg Pennsylvania USA. August 1990.


I was in the right time at the right place with a roll of 35MM black and white film in My camera. I took this photo on an August 1990 vacation I had taken in Strasburg Pennsylvania.

We are looking in to the locomotive enginehouse area, at the headquarters of the Strasburg Railroad. Two adults and a little girl, observe both steam and diesel locomotives being put away for the night at the end of the day after pulling tourist trains. The vintage equipment and clothing worn by these people, gives this black and white photo a 1950's kind of look. If one didn't know better, this photo could be mistaken for one taken during the 1950's era steam to diesel transition period on many North American railroads.
