Cold Winter Steam

Do you have a model release on file? 

No People in photo, not necessary.

When was the photo taken? 

February, 16, 2009

Photo Description 

The engine detached from the train for the return trip to Steamtown National Historic Site, pulled forward to the ice pond where ice was being harvested as per 100+ years ago (behind photographer), then went back to the train to the rear of the train. It was a very cold day (in the teens), so there was condensing steam from every source on the engine. What a sight!

Tips and Tricks 

  • My next Favorite (Submitted favorite yesterday) was taken in February, 2009 on a Steamtown trip to an Ice Harvesting Festival in Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania.
