Up The Hill To Frostburg

The sounds of the working locomotive echo through the valley as we climbed higher and higher into the mountains.

Still climbing higher, we go through a horseshoe shaped curve. The city has fallen away and turned to farmland.

Our destination: Frostburg Maryland. Because of the elevation, it is much cooler here.

As we wander through Frostburg, our steam locomotive is turned on the turntable. She will then be watered and serviced to prepare her for the return trip.

Tanglewood Park, Clemmons, NC

I took this on April 9th, 2010, in Clemens North Carolina. This, technically, is not part of my summer trip of 2010, but it is the trip that kicked off the year of photographing trains in different places. Engine 1894 originally ran for the Southern Railway. She is of the 0-8-0 wheel arrangement.
