3/20/22

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image goes back to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg.  This is Pennsylvania Railroad locomotive 3750, a K4s Pacific type.  The K4s was iconic to the PA RR as they were known for their speed and power and were the standard for their passenger trains.  This locomotive was built in 1920 and retired in 1958.  The museum is planning on building more indoor storage space.  I hope they do because this locomotive is deteriorating badly due to sitting out in the weather from the photo I saw on their site while researching it.  It did make for a nice B&W subject though.

  1. Great post processing on this photograph. It looks like the locomotive just finished its last run after a long, hard-working life.
