The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg will accept advance orders for its new souvenir photo book, which is due out in late December. This colorful souvenir photo book captures the excitement of the museum's historic trains and what is in store for visitors when they explore the museum. The 6-by-6-inch hardback souvenir book contains 88 color and black-and-white images over 96 pages.

Titled "The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Pictures," the book features photos and informative captions that show the range of vintage railroad equipment on exhibit in the museum, including the nearly 100 locomotives and railroad cars spanning the mid-19th through the late 20th centuries. Photos and captions were generated and assembled by a committee of museum volunteers and staff. The foreword was written by museum director Patrick C. Morrison, and the book is being published by Schiffer Publishing of Atglen.
