| During the summer of 2003, Steamtown operated what will be it's most abitious and extensive excursion season ever. A menu of trips operated to four different destinations. Despite having only one operational locomotive this year, the 2003 season was quite the show indeed! ~All Photographs by David Crosby~ |
