N&W 382: The Virginia Creeper (2017)

Like us on Facebook! pages/Blue-C...
Norfolk & Western #382, a 4-8-0 "Mollie" type locomotive, was built in 1906 by the Richmond Locomotive Works. A workhorse of the branch lines, the engine saw work over its lengthily lifetime notably on the Abingdon Branch of the Norfolk & Western Railway's system, and a notable photography subject for the great O. Winston Link. Sadly the engine was dismantled in 1957, but her sister engine #475 escaped the scrapper's torch. Today, #475 is dressed up as her long lost sister for Lerro Photography's "Virginia Creeper" charter, the third event of its kind, at the Strasburg Railroad. Recreating scenes commonly seen on the Abingdon Branch, #382 races along the countryside with a mixed freight consist, just as she would over 60 years ago! Now please enjoy this special video brought to you by Blue Comet Productions in conjunction with Lerro Photography!
This video was filmed on November 6th, 2017.

    Watching this I realized one huge problem with the Strasburg trying to realistically modifying # 475 to resemble # 382 when she ran on the N&W's Abingdon Branch. The 475's tender is from a USRA Mountain Class K-2 with four wheel trucks. The tender on 382 when she ran on the Abingdon Branch in the mid 1950's was a larger tender riding on six wheel trucks that was from an early articulated either Class Z or Y-2.

    Is the reason why 475 has masqueraded as 382 a few times in the past few years and was this video filmed around the second time 475 was dressed as 382 since 2010 I believe so? And is it true she'll be masquerading as 382 again once 611 visits this fall and I hope she'll be heading there by steam. I mean if she was able to go all the way to Ohio in 1994 under her own power then I bet she can do it all the way to Strasburg Pennsylvania
