East Broad Top (EBT) steam locomotive #16 pulls a mixed freight through the early morning fog as they head to Rockhill Furnace, Pennsylvania on October 5th, 2024, during the museum’s Friends of the East Broad top event.

This is my first post from a week-long trip I took with Bryan Burton (Photography) where we traveled 2,800 miles and covered steam operations at Reading and Blue Northern Railway (2102), East Broad Top Railroad, Strasburg Railroad and then a two-day photo charter by Dak Dillion Photography at the Valley Railroad in Essex, CT. It was a long, but fun and exciting trip for sure! You’ll see a lot of steam action over the coming weeks!

According to the East Broad Top Website: Locomotive #16 was built in 1916 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works.

Entering the age of modern steam in 1916, the EBT received its first of three large Mikados. Unlike the previous three smaller locomotives, #16 came with superheaters, piston valves, and Southern valve gear. One story mentions #16 pulled 60 empty hoppers from Mt. Union to Rockhill in one train, literally clearing out the yard. #16 underwent an overhaul in 1955 and made only a handful of trips in early 1956 before the railroad shut down an overhaul when the EBT shut down. On February 1, 2023, the locomotive returned to service.

October 12th, 2024 – Episode 93 Saturday Edited Video from Jim Pearson Photography

This week we catch steam action at the Strasburg Railroad Museum in Strasburg, PA, highlighting steam locomotive #89. Sit back, turn up the sound, expand to full screen and enjoy the trains!! Please like, share, subscribe and thanks for watching! Saturday, August 24th, 2024 – A Saturday evening collection of steam photos from Strasburg, Pennsylvania for your Saturday evening viewing pleasure from Jim Pearson Photography.

In this week’s Saturday Infrared photo, we catch Nickel Plate Road 358 as it brings up the rear of the Victory Train being pulled by Nickel Plate Road steam engine 765 as they head toward Angola, Indiana on August 31st, 2024. I love how the steam from 765 makes it look like it’s coming from 358, which will be used to pull the passenger train back to Pleasant Lake, IN on their next run.

Tech Info: Fuji XT-1, RAW, Converted to 720nm B&W IR, Nikon 70-300 @210mm, f/5.6, 1/180, ISO 210.

Analog Wednesday – I’ve added a like new Mamiya C330 Professional 2 ¼ square film camera to my camera bag and on Wednesday’s I’ll be sharing images I’ve shot with it.
