Triple-Header steam on trestle

[NW Mailing List]

No, this is the famed triple header from the 1957 NRHS convention led by 475 crossing the Virginian at Merrimac on its way from Blacksburg back to Christiansburg and eventually Roanoke. Pure excursion photo. Many, many photos of this trip exist as there was a photo run just east of this location.

I rarely see three triple-headed steam locomotives except for railfan excursions, but this appears to be in regular service.  No date or other information provided by the seller.
