During my visit to Steamtown I was fortunate enough to take a ride in the cab of one of the steam engines. Shooting in there was very difficult for me. My height always poses problems but the heat coming out of the firebox was blistering. Sweat was pouring down my face and all over my camera. The closer you get to one of these machines the more fascinating they become... gauges, levers and valves everywhere! This is one of the conductors from that afternoon (can't for the life of me remember his name). These guys were gritty and tough just as you would expect and seemed to carry the personality of the engine.
