Does anyone know if Strasburg's 475 is back in service? I went on the shop tour last year and saw it had a few drivers taken off and smoke pipes taken out.

At this point I belive all of the SRC's locomotvives are running. 89 and 31 started the season while 475 came in after Easter and then 90 come out during the Thomas days
