I rode my first trip behind her that very moth of that very year.  I was 6.  Same consist and everything!  She was running trips out of Atlanta, either slightly before or slightly after these photos were made.  I regret that she was not able to make it back to Atlanta for the more recent excursions.  At least I was able to live out a life long dream and see her again on the mainline.  Pray and keep your fingers crossed that there will be more of her on the main in the future.  I can't make it to Strasburg in the fall, as I'm a teacher and can't really take off work in the fall months very easily.
