/Mitch  Date: 09/14/09 22:14 Re: Me and Darth shooting on the dark side - Strasburg Author: Mgoldman Last run of the day - returning to the station (about quarter to 7).
Birds weren't expecting another train, apparently. /Mitch  Date: 09/14/09 22:41 Re: Me and Darth shooting on the dark side - Strasburg Author: Harlock I really enjoyed my ride there. one of the few places where you can get served lunch on the train. Fell in love with Amish shoe fly pie they had for desert. Went and found more of it at a small country faire happening nearby.
They sure have nice looking rolling stock (and engine!) --M Mike Massee Tehachapi, CA Photography, Railroading and more..

Best I ever had!!
Mike Date: 09/15/09 06:09 Re: Me and Darth shooting on the dark side - Strasburg Author: Tominde Always a quick and easy fix for coal smoke and steam oil. Had my grandchildren riding last month. Thanks for sharing some great shots of "the common". Mitch you have a great talent for taking the "ordinary" and making it look special. Thanks for sharing.

Does anyone know why it was shortened? John West and Donald Haskel have some cool shots of GW #90 as mentioned on RP. /Mitch Date: 09/15/09 19:13 Re: Me and Darth shooting on the dark side - Strasburg Author: IC_2024 Nice shots--digital "dark side" isn't really anything close to the old "Kodachrome" dark side thanks to editing software--takes care of most of the lost shadow detail.
