I visited the Strasburg Railroad last week and here is a video I took.
Take a ride behind the Strasburg Railroad #475 as she travels the beautiful Amish country side. Start off by seeing the hostler get the locomotive ready for the day, and then board the train for Paradise.
Turn up those speakers and listen for that beautiful whistle. Listen to her bark when she leaves the picnic drop off and heads up the grade.

JD,
I am going home to Potter County for the 4th, to ride the Tioga RR Fire works Train out of Wellsboro, up thru to NY. My wife and I will probably go on the Tioga RR Sunday Lunch Special also. Thanks for the Strasburg video Ride, great stuff!

Wow' it's a small world. I was on the open air car that trip. I could hear my friend John talking to that kid that he was talking to for most of the trip.
Great video, and I'm glad to see us talking didn't ruin the on-train portion of the video!
Wow--thanks for the video clip. My family always have fun at Strasburg RR.
We especially like the area near the TCA Museum. Besides museum-you have working farms, restaurant, climb a Silo, cabooses to sleep over in, Amish horse rides and Amish residents just riding by. But that N&W 475 always makes my day.
oh-did I mention the food?? eh eh
Thanks again

Thanks for the great video!!!! Very well done!!!
She's a great engine and a great little railroad!! I had the pleasure of seeing her in actions back in 2013. She brought a huge smile to may face as she pulled into the station.
Yes, I was the one who stayed on the back platform, with the camera around my neck. It truly is a small world.
Last time my wife and I were at Strasburg we took the Hostling Tour. Had a great time, a small group and one of the engineers explaining all that needs to be done to get the engines ready for the work day. Highly recommend it.

Jim,
That was wonderful! How many cameras were used for the shoot? I really enjoyed that video. It brought out the foamer in me.

The Hostling tour was great. It was a pretty small group and two of the teens in the group were special needs. The engineer did a great job with them, and even let one blow the whistle. They had a million questions and he was very patent with them and asnwered everything they asked.

2 cameras, but 95% of the video was from only 1. There is only a few shots with the 2nd camera, one of them is when the 475 goes over the camera and the one with the cows in the shot.
