Steam & Excursion > NKP #765 runs over the Poconos; 9-7-2015Date: 09/07/20 06:29 NKP #765 runs over the Poconos; 9-7-2015 Author: bigsavage 5 years ago, 765 ran a Labor Day excursion from Steamtown in Scranton, PA., to East Stroudsburg, PA.
The weather was great, but a little better pre-planning on my part could have resulted in more photos. All of these were shot on Fujichrome slide film with a Nikon FM10 SLR. 2016 would be my last year of shooting 35mm color slides after doing so for 22 years. 1&2: leaving Scranton Warren W.

The gang at the FWRHS really know what they’re doing! Thanks for posting!!
