Steam & Excursion > "Valley" 4070Date: 10/02/25 12:07 "Valley" 4070 Author: refarkas For some unknown reason Cuyahoga Valley Line 4070 is wearing only "Valley" on its tender as it heads south near Akron, Ohio in June 1980.

I believe it was around this time that the engine was used for a scene or two in "The Natural". The only clip I've ever found online just shows her in the background of a baseball game though.
