July 8, 1973 steam trip passing Boyce

[NW Mailing List]

The Southern did run a special that day from Hagerstown to Front Royal and 
then to Alexandria on the 1973 Independence Limited with SRR 4501. My reference 
is from the book, "Steam's Camelot," by Jim Wrinn.

Hello, Glenn:

Please see the picture taken of Boyce station on July 8, 1973:

eBay item number (if the link doesn't work): 310121748483

This view was apparently taken from the observation car on a steam special, 
judging by the smoke wisps above the track.  I initially thought it might have 
been a NKP 759 High Iron Company trip from Hagerstown to Shenandoah, but in 
checking the 759 was running a trip to Scranton around that weekend.  The 
Southern Steam Specials didn't venture onto the north end of the Hagerstown 
District.  So, would you have any thoughts about what trip this may have been?

Best wishes,

Frank Scheer
