like the canadian shot but like modern times it says your hoildays are far away as a hogworth dream.
Gotta go with the two Reader Submissions:
#1 is the decorated Steam Engine- Strasburg RR (I think) .
The CPR's Highly decorated Christmas Train. That is really a cool, posed shot that telegraphs the Spirit of the Holidays.
The steam engine belongs to the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad in Bucks County, PA not Strasburg.
The Eric Williams shot of the Canadian Pacific Christmas train on Tunkhannock Viaduct! The lighting of the train and viaduct are just spectacular. Did you notice you can't see the bases of the viaducts arches? It's like the whole thing is floating in the air. Almost otherworldly.
If it will help anyone, New Hope, PA is directly across the Delaware River from Lambertville, NJ.
Folks may find this interesting, but the New Hope- Lambertville area was once known as Coryells Ferry. It's where Washington's army crossed the Delaware in June of 1778 on the way to their dust-up with the Redcoats at Monmouth Court House. A very historic area.
