I'm a native Pennsylvanian, which means I am steeped in US History, whether I want to be or not. As a teen, admittedly, I had little appreciation for growing up in a place that seemed so entirely focused on the past. It was all I could do to join the Navy and see the world of today and tomorrow.
As I get older, I look back and wish I had appreciated the education about our past a bit more. When my parents were still alive, I visited PA as often as my hectic schedule would allow and, from time to time, took my family to places like this, where they could hopefully get an appreciation for the nostalgia that I was so quick to shun.
This is late autumn in Strasburg, Pennsylvania at the historic railroad where people get an opportunity to ride on passenger trains pulled by true steam engines like this one.

This is part of the Avoca line that operates solely to transport coal from the Fingal Valley. TasRail has not operated passenger trains in Tasmania since 1978. It exists entirely as a freight transport network. It is a single line narrow gauge rail system (1067mm, 42 inches).
This little train sits outside the city hall in Guthrie, KY.
The locomotive is a Plymouth MDT 35-ton switcher. It is paired with an old L&N caboose.

When I first arrived everything was in technicolour, however, once you go through the tunnel you go into black and white, I'm not kidding you. This picture is how you see it in SL, at first I thought my PC was broken but I look at my avatar and yep she's still in colour.
Come check it out for yourself, this image was taken @ Dreams Railroad by Fiona Fei.

When it sensed people's movements, it turned on a surveillance light and became as bright as daytime, so I had to shoot quickly.
