Early morning on the Wilmington & Western
SW-1 114 pulls the train out of the longest enginehouse on the east coast
All steamed up, 4-4-0 98 blows out her cylinder cocks on her way to the train

The train crosses over one of the many trestles along the line at the Rock Cut
Out of the thick forests, the train is seen crossing Barley Mill Road
After a pause at Mt. Cuba, 114 leads the train back, seen here popping out of the Rock Cut
With the 2:30 train in tow, 98 winds its way west at Faulkland Road
Flying out of the shadows, 98 leads the train through Little Brook
A final look at 98 as it crosses Hillside Mill Road at Mt. Cuba
A local artist captures 2-10-0 90 as it gets the 4PM train from Strasburg underway at Carpenters, PA
Now on the west end of the train, 90 leads the train through Cherry Hill
90 is the largest locomotive running at Strasburg, seen here sporting a mixed Great Western/Strasburg livery
After arriving at East Strasburg, 90 prepares to run around its train for the 7PM run
Working through the fields of Paradise, 90 produly displays her number plate
Back in East Strasburg, 90 rests after completing its last run of the day
