Digital Photo Art – Norfolk & Western Steam Locomotive 475 heads west on the Strasburg Railroad against the rising sun as it illuminates the sky behind the train and steam, with the cold November air producing a spectacular show of steam trailing over the train, as they approach the Esbenshade Road Crossing on November 7th, 2021, at Strasburg, Pennsylvania.
According to Wikipedia: Strasburg Railroad (Norfolk and Western) No. 475 is a 4-8-0 “Mastodon” type steam locomotive owned and operated by the Strasburg Railroad outside of Strasburg, Pennsylvania. Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in June 1906, it was part of the Norfolk and Westerns’ first order of M class numbered 375-499. Today, No. 475 is the only operating 4-8-0 type in North America and the Strasburg Rail Road’s oldest operating steam locomotive.
