Description
With only 4 coaches in tow instead of the usual 8 to 10, Strasburg #89 pulls a westbound at Carpenters this afternoon. I've been chasing the Strasburg since the early 1980's, and this was probably the shortest regular train I've seen to date. The Corona virus scare is putting a damper on, but at least the Strasburg is soldiering on. 3/15/2020Related content

Thanks!...The Strasburg shop does a beautiful job restoring those old wooden coaches...they are as spectacular inside too. Β

Thanks!Β Β Even if these tourist operations have to shut down temporarily...there is always mainline freight action worth grabbing the camera and doing some chasing!Β

Yes, they are breaking ground for it near the old PRR freight depot in Leaman Place along the mainline. It should free up a lot of space at the Strasburg yard... Β

I didn't hear about a roundhouse, but here is a link to the freight yard plans...

Hey are you with me in that with the Corona Virus being talked about in the news so much it's getting annoying lately?

Oh, yeah....I'm just so over it. I'd probably have a better chance of being run over by a city bus in my bathtub! Β

Yeah, besides..... there is dozens of other stuff for the news to talk about than the Corona Virus. :/

The rest of it is not much better....particularly it being an election year. The news media is throwing more crap than the Amish are spreading on their fields around here.....I'll probably stay away from the TV news until next year...Β

The media gets off on blowing these things up to armageddon status...

A HUGE part of the reason that I don't turn on the news.

Every time I have photographed the Strasburg, I only seem to get the #90!

I probably have more pics of #90, even though it's my least favorite in their stable....Β
