Hello again -
In addition to the car and pickup truck shown earlier, Pete had also arranged for a somewhat more modern vehicle to participate:
... and this one raced by unexpectedly about an hour later:
There was a ghost in the engine house:
... and a ghost rider chased by - and then chasing - the train:*
My daughter Cindy (aka Jackelopette) even got a chance to play Little Red Riding Hood for a couple of minutes:
As mentioned above, other than minor cropping of some of them I had no way to edit these photos. They are just a few of more than 300 taken on my little Panasonic FZ-100 last week. Hopefully at least a few of the several much better - and better-equipped - photographers who were in Strasburg on 02/19/13 will soon post links to their photos.
THANK YOU, Pete, for a fabulous day!!

* There were also some dairy cattle in a small stable near the tracks, but they were un-cow-operative and un-mooo-ving when asked to pose for our photos ...
