Maitland Steamfest

An annual event at Maitland is the Maitland Steamfest and it attracts thousands of people each year. I couldn't do a month of photos about Maitland without a photo of one of the steam trains at the steamfest.

Looks like a neat event. There is a historic steam train that runs out of New Hope, PA. It is always exciting to hear the whistle..

Cool shot. Love the pushy things in the front. Doesn't look like a Moose catcher to me. LOL

@pcoulson Thanks Peter. David is mad about trains, so I have seen lots over the years as you can imagine. We have a grandson who is train mad too, so they go out together.

I love these, the energy they project and the smell of the steam and smoke. Wonderful. I think you may have captured the whistle blowing as well.

@golftragic Thanks Marnie, it has scrubbed up well hasn't it.

@kathiecb It's probably better for catching kangaroos and emus.
