Southern Railway 4501 at Front Royal, VA on a 1973 excursion from Alexandria, VA to Front Royal and return. In the 2nd photo, can you pick out the locomotive crew member in the crowd? I believe the gentleman is Bill Purdie, Southern Railway Master Mechanic assigned to their steam program. Confirmation would be welcome.

Very Nice Photos, my wife and I rode one of these trips to Front Royal in 1973.  Thanks for sharing your photos.

Yes, that is Mr. Purdie.  Met him once in Cincinnati after a trip up from Danville behind the T&P 610.
