Strasburg Railroad May 2023 With 611 & 475

Since 611 will be heading out of Strasburg soon, I took some footage of 611 before she heads back home.

Nice catches, Joe. One question, why does the tour train always run the engine tender first on their way to paradise and run normally back? Wouldn't it make more sense to run normally out and tender first back?

they probably do not have a turntable at paradise

@@ConductorBrenner4768 Umm. I know they don't but my question is, why do they run with the locomotive facing reverse when going OUT instead of the locomotive facing reverse when going BACK
