Sunrise over East Strasburg
With the early November sun just beginning to appear behind a veil of cirrus clouds, the Strasburg Rail Road's ex Norfolk & Western M-Class Twelve-Wheeler #475 makes a spirited charge toward Esbenshade Road in East Strasburg, PA, kicking off a day-long photo shoot, organized by Historic Transport Preservation (HTP) and led by John Craft. On this day, the venerable N&W "Mollie" hauled a 9-car mixed train, not unlike those that this class of engines pulled on various rural branch lines in the N&W system well into the 1950s.
