We drove to Cherry Hill Road which is approximately the half-way point on the Strasburg Rail Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn’t have to wait long before a low mournful whistle announced the approach of the returning 2pm train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last month, most of Strasburg’s excursion have been led by 2-6-0 number 89, so I was pleased when I saw former Norfolk & Western 4-8-0 number 475 come into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos with my Nikon Z7-II with 70-200mm lens as Kris recorded the performance with her iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
