Over a few select days during the Summer of 2023, we spent time trackside on the Strasburg Rail Road with 2-6-0 Mogul #89. Featuring the Canadian steam star, the locomotive would be tasked with a slightly larger train than normal due to the increased summertime ridership. As the small yet mighty Mogul trundles along the Amish countryside, we followed trackside and on-board as 89 completes the roundtrip journey from East Strasburg to Paradise and return. Working hard with a splendid show of steam and sound, join us as we reminisce on warmer weather and follow Strasburg Rail Road 89 in "The Summertime Steam Flyer" by Keystone Rail Productions!
History of Strasburg Rail Road 89:
Strasburg Rail Road 89 is a 2-6-0 mogul that was built in 1910 by the Canadian Locomotive Company for the Grand Truck Railway as No. 1009, and was designated as a E-10-a. In 1919 she was then renumbered to 911. In 1951, after the Grand Trunk Railway merged into the Canadian National Railway, the locomotive was once again renumbered to become Canadian National 89. She was one of the many steam workhorses that could be found operating for the CN in service. In 1965, she was sold to the Green Mountain Railroad. Then in 1972, 89 was sold to the Strasburg Rail Road, where she resides today in her Canadian inspired appearance pulling passenger and freight services reliably.
