John D. Jones visited the Strasburg Railroad in East Strasburg, Pennsylvania on rainy October 15, 2009 and took the great shots below of Norfolk & Western 4-8-0 #475. One of N&W's M Class units, #475 was built by Baldwin in 1906. When Strasburg obtained it, the number was retained and the loco was relettered with the Strasburg name using the N&W font style and size. In the shots below, the steam coupled with the rain makes a particularly dramatic scene, notibly in the fourth photo.
