Rounding the Bend
Norfolk and Western 475 (as 382) is steaming around the bend. ..N&W 382 is featured in many of the Abingdon Branch images made by O. Winston Link in the late 1950s. The Abingdon Branch was known as the Virginia Creeper. The trains had to navigate sharp turns, a 3% grade and 2,000-foot elevation gain on their way from Abingdon VA to West Jefferson NC. ..Number 475 was the 101st of 125 M class steam locomotives built for the Norfolk & Western from 1906 to 1907, rolling out of Baldwin Locomotive Works in June 1906. It retired from active service in 1956 after completing 50 years of service. Number 475 is based out of the Strasburg Railway in Pennsylvania..
