I never realized that the runaround track was higher than the main track.

You don't notice it too much on board the train, but it is a few feet higher at this perspective.

I can't tell for sure, but I think I was aboard this particular train that day. Was this the 12 PM train?

I just checked my file, and it was the 1:00pm train...the time of the shot was 1:33pm...

Yeah, that wasn't the one. I was on the one before it.

It looks like a lot of the regular railfans on DA have been at this event over the past few weeks. Being I live only 2 minutes from the Strasburg, I've been all over it almost on a daily basis, Leaman Place, the Red Caboose and everywhere in between. We've probably walked past each other somewhere along the line!

I was thinking something like that happened. I know I appeared in a few videos on YouTube waving at people filming the train passing by.

Yeah, I kept waving at the Virtual Railfan webcam they have mounted at Leaman Place...I had thoughts of 'mooning' it, but I'm too old for that stuff!
