The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will offer a railroad photography class on Tuesday, Oct. 13, from 9 to 11 a.m. The program, "Making the Most of Autumn Foliage and Autumn Light," will be led by railroad photographer and author Brian Solomon.

The session will offer tips for railroad photographers, effective ways to work with autumn foliage and autumn light, and composition techniques. It will also include a hands-on tutorial with equipment in the outside yard, weather and conditions permitting, as well as the Pennsylvania Railroad E7s No. 7002, Pennsylvania Railroad E7 No. 5901, and Conrail GP30 No. 2233 locomotives in the Rolling Stock Hall. Class participants may use their smartphone, digital camera, or film camera to photograph the historic equipment.

Solomon was presented with the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society's Fred A. & Jane R. Stindt Photography Award in 2020 for his lifetime achievements in railroad photography.
