The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will offer a workshop, "Railroad Photography: From the Pennsylvania Railroad to Penn Central to Conrail," on Tuesday, April 14, from 9 to 11 a.m.

The event, led by author and photographer Brian Solomon, will offer opportunities for attendees to take photos of locomotives with their smartphones, digital cameras, or film cameras. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Conrail, the program will focus on several locomotives and freight cars that operated under the Conrail banner, specifically with Pennsylvania Railroad and Penn Central heritage.

Solomon earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in photographic illustration from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He produces a daily blog about railroad photography, and his articles and photography have appeared in many railway magazines. He received the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society's Fred A. & Jane R. Stindt Photography Award in 2020 for his lifetime achievements in railroad photography.

Solomon is the author of more than 70 books and writes a monthly travel column and feature articles for Firecrown Media's Trains Magazine. He is the marketing manager for New Hampshire's Conway Scenic Railroad and lives with his wife, Kris, in Lancaster County. Copies of many of his books are available for purchase in the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania's Whistle Stop Shop museum store.
