Hi everyone!
To kick off my 2017 season, the Strasburg Rail Road held its annual Long John Limited. This year, with temperatures hovering near 70 degrees, many passengers in the open air car opted for shorts and t-shirts rather than long johns.
This video is a compilation of February 18th and February 19th. N&W #475 is a class M 4-8-0 and pulled both the Suter and the President's car on February 19th, which is I believe is the SRC's heaviest passenger train they have. Nonetheless, she sounded fantastic as the "Virginia Creeper" roamed the Road to Paradise.
And some pictures to boot:
