Reminds me of a model train set! Great photo!

Oldest common carrier . . . and thus some traffic for interchange.

I'm glad Strasburg is using steam for freight service nowadays. Cool shot.

Great shot! Revenue steam freight in 2012! There's even a schedule for this (http://www.railserve.com/events/railfan_excursions.html) For July and August: Wednesdays & Fridays: depart Strasburg at 6:30a to pickup inbound cars (usually steam), and Tuesdays & Thursdays: depart Strasburg late afternoon to deliver outbound cars (steam or diesel).

I'll second Jake's remark. What a sight!

I love how the train is made up. The engine and caboose represent the old classic styles of railroading while the cars in the middle represent modern day railroading. :)
