Hey everyone!
Below is a new video containing shots of Great Western #90 completing dual service roles on the Road to Paradise.
Originally built as a freight engine for the Great Western Railway, #90 now regularly pulls passenger trains for the Strasburg Rail Road.
Hope you all like it and thanks for watching!
Here are some pictures of and around #90 over the past month or so:

GW #90 barks past the photographer just west of Beiler's Crossing.
Silhouetted by the morning light, Fireman Paul Deevy pulls the blowdown valve on GW #90.
Smoking it up on Long Curve.
Spring and Steam go hand in hand IMO. Do you agree?
Engineman Fred Mattison awaits for the highball from his conductor as Earl Knoob preps his fire for the assault on Cherry Hill.
"I think there is a steam locomotive around somewhere..."
With the 6 pm Wine and Cheese train in tow, GW #90 whistles for the crossing while passing Cherry Crest Adventure Farm.
Engineman Earl Knoob eases GW #90 away from the water tower in the fading light of a long day...
Backing out into the morning rays for a steam freight!
Hostler Dave Lotfi greases the axle on #90... Hostler Dave Lotfi cranks up the mechanical lubricator...
A present time "Then and Now" as #90, picking up freight at Leaman Place Junction, is passed by a local NS freight heading east.
Getting ready for the pull...
In all her glory #90 rounds Long Curve with a 6 car mixed train reminding the viewers how capable she is at hauling freight.
Have a great Sunday!
