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!
