WK&S Railroad Locomotive # 65 arriving on time

The Wanamaker Kempton & Southern, Inc. is a tourist railroad that runs steam and diesel locomotive powered train rides around the Berks County countryside. Train rides originate in the small village of Kempton, PA. In addition to regular 40 minute train rides, they also offer special themed train excursions including a murder mystery ride, Harvest Moon rides, Halloween Rides, Santa Rides, etc.

0-6-0 steam locomotive #65, a 1930 Porter locomotive. Engine #65 was acquired from the Safe Harbor Water and Power Company of Columbia, Pennsylvania in 1972. Engine #65 is the last piece of equipment to have arrived at the WK&S by rail. Engine #65 is the locomotive you’ll most likely see in action when you visit the WK&S.

I shot this with my D200 and converted the RAW file to black and white with NIK Software’s Silver-FX Pro then blended two free textures provided by the following texture contributors (thanks folks !) to give this an old fashioned, grainy look.

Textures used:
Of corpse not (Skeletal Mess)
Golden Dreams (Telzey)
