Strasburg Rail Road: Red Ball Express - USATC #89

HD 1080p: On Saturday, May 26th, the Strasburg Rail Road and Lerro Productions hosted a photo charter "The Red Ball Express" as a benefit for Verdant View Farm, which recently lost a barn due to a fire. Strasburg's #89 was labeled and painted as USATC #89, and hauled a mixed freight consist from the WWII era. This video highlights the day's activities along with the photo runbys out on the line. Additional donations for Verdant View Farm can still be sent in via Strasburg's website under the Red Ball Express event page. Many thanks go to the SRC and Lerro Productions for hosting this charter!

Great job -- very enjoyable. I love the sound of steam engines under power, especially when the are gaining speed.
