The Age of Steam
This is Number 40, a fully-restored 2-8-0 "Consolidation"
coal-fired locomotive. It was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia in December 1925 and sold new at a price of $25,125.96.
The 40 currently serves the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad in New Hope, PA, as its only operating steam locomotive. Visitors can take a ride on this train and cross the bridge where the railroad scenes from the 1914 silent film The Perils of Pauline were shot.

Rode a steam powered train in the Lancaster, PA area a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Your photo is crystal clear and the composition is superb!
