Royal Wakeup

On the morning of May 30th, 2021, I got to take part in a Hostling tour of locomotive 611 at the Strasburg Railroad. This gave us a bit of an inside look at the morning start-up routine of the locomotive for the day's work. With such a tour, there were only about 20 of us, which makes it nice for kinda having the locomotive to yourself so-to-speak. I learned a good bit from this experience, and feel I had the opportunity to get some good shots as well. Like or hate high-contrast images.....I personally love how this turned out. It's just too bad that pictures don't convey the sounds and smells of this beauty.
