[4K] Strasburg Rail Road: Great Western 90's Sunset Excursions

As the sun set on 2023, the sun was also setting on Strasburg Rail Road's Great Western #90's boiler ticket, as she was slated to go down for her 1,472 SDI inspection at the end of the year. As part of the Santa's Paradise Express trips, SRC 90 joined forces with former Canadian National #89 to pull these excursions during the height of the Christmas season. The weather produced idyllic conditions for steam, smoke, and some of the most picturesque sunset shots we have ever encountered! Keeping to a tight two-train schedule, both locomotives produced heavy stack talk running up the grades, and we used these opportunities to try out some different angles with our drone (including some pacing!). We hope you enjoy this edition of steam railroading on the Road to Paradise!

That's the SP 6 Chime on 89, sounds like 482, 497, 2472 and 3751!
