Meter guage Czechloslovakian steam locomotive rounding a curve. The Hesston Steam Museum. Hesston Indianna USA. Late October 1991.
I took this photograph along the Museum's dual guage 2 Foot and 3 foot railroad mainline, wich is why you see 2 rails close together on the right side of the picture. I stood outside in an isolated area in a cold drizzle, to capture this late season runby of the Czechloslovakian 0-4-0 side tank steam locomotive and open summer coaches. The locomotive is Meter Guage, and operates on the 2 foot guage rails. 40 degree rainy windy weather didn't feel very pleasant in the open summer coaches, as My fingers were stinging. Nonetheless it was a fun outing on the last day of the museum's operating season. The cold weather made for some excellent Steam Effects.
