Poetry in motion! Nice shot Mitch! Interestingly, #475 was originally built with Stephenson valve gear as compared to her current Baker valve gear arrangement. Most of Stephenson valve gear parts are contained within the frame of the locomotive and if you look closely you can see the extra space within the frame to accommodate such a system. Next time you are around the SRC be sure to look at #89 since it has Stephenson valve gear to see what I mean.
