About once every 4 years, the steam enthusiasts among us get to see Strasburg's ex N&W 12-wheeler doing exactly what her sisters did in front of Winston Link's cameras 50+ years ago...hauling a local mixed train. During the railroad's annual Trains & Troops event this year, 475 drew the honors of pulling the troop train, and luckily, the weather was just dandy. In this scene, the free-steaming M-Class loco lifts the pops as she drifts along the hillside between Carpenters Crossing and Groff's Picnic Grove.
