Strasburg Railroad 90: The Early Years

The 1960s and 1970's were a booming time for the Strasburg Railroad. The line had cemented its reputation as a railfan's destination, with tourists from all over the country traveling to see what the scenic 4-mile line had to offer. During this time, the locomotives and rolling stock wore vibrant liveries of reds and golds, and even brandished the "egg" logo that the railroad used in its early years. Strasburg's ex-Great Western 2-10-0 "Decapod" #90 arrived on the property in 1967, and wore this iconic livery for decades. Fast forward to 2020, when the railroad is now celebrating its 60th anniversary, and the iconic "egg" scheme has made a return to the flagship decapod in a grand fashion. In conjunction with Christopher Pollock, Steve Barry, and Lerro Photography, the Strasburg Railroad ran a series of three photo sessions with the gaudy 2-10-0 to celebrate. Now, please enjoy this exciting video brought to you by Blue Comet Productions!
