Triple-Header steam on trestle

[NW Mailing List]

The three M's were 475, 449 and 405 at Merrimac.  Good shot.

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.

that the Virginian is crossing underneath, so I anticipate someone can
identify the location. I rarely see three triple-headed steam locomotives
except for railfan excursions, but this appears to be in regular service.
