Located in the quiet
Amish farmlands of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania are two fine examples
of our American railroad heritage, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania
and the Strasburg Railroad.In this video we'll visit the museum, and
we'll tell you a little about its history and development. Then we'll
go across the street to the Strasburg Railroad, the oldest operating
shortline railroad in the United States today. In the cab and trackside,
you'll see locomotives 31, 90, and 7002 pulling train loads of
passengers through the scenic Lancaster countryside.Then comes the
highlight of the show, as the 7002 and the 1223 are on the point of a
special steam doubleheader! You'll see these two ex-Pennsylvania
locomotives running on home rails from Strasburg to Harrisburg and back.
The locomotives cross the massive Rockville Viaduct, and then race back
to Strasburg on the former Pennsylvania Railroad main line.After
watching this video, we're sure you'll agree that in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, "Steam Still Stands".
