This is one of the old steam strains in the town Nora, almost ready to go. There is an association of railway enthusiasts who take care of the old trains and railways. To get money for this they let tourists buy a ticket and go for a ride in the old fashion way.

All comments are most welcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

This is a super capture of the old relic still in use. Some years ago we took the nickel plate 5 steam engine train ride up into the mountains of West Virginia, that was a wonderful time, I will always remember. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Wow. Neat shot, Susanne. Looks like the engine could use an oil change.

There is a Steam Engine that runs on Labor Day through parts of Indiana. The photographers start lining up and getting their positions and wait sometimes for hours to catch a shot of it.
You have captured this one very well . Love the colors .
Great post of this classic of days gone by.

In the area where I live, we have a rather similar assocation which exploits old steam locomotives and carriages as well.
To make a ride is great fun indeed. Let's go, Susanne and make the whistle blow, lol!

Very fine image!

Regards, Cornelius.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
