We made it through "the End of the World" to reach the end of the year. This is a small sampling of the voluminous images captured by me through 2012. I hope some of the other contributors can share a year of photos as well.
Ringing in the new year last December 31 is Baldwin Locomotive Works 0-6-0 no. 26 undergoing a massive rebuild at the Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton. The bell was later taken down so other work could proceed.
On January 6, I was able to catch this early evening arrival of Amtrak at the Williamsburg, VA station.
February 18 was the return of steam operations at the Strasburg Rail Road in Strasburg, PA. Norfolk & Western 4-8-0 no. 475 began the long year of runs to Paradise and return.
Exactly a month later, I explored the rail freight remnants of New York City. Part of it was a hike on the northern portion of the New York Central's high-line. In the foreground is the publicly accessible portion. The other branch leads to the Post Office building.
More shots are coming, but my coffee cup needs a refill first. Enjoy, and please feel free to contribute.
