Most people in the NA community probably has either seen or heard about this accident that happened at the Strasburg Railroad earlier today with their N&W 475, luckily it wasn't worse.....

Looks like someone forgot to change the switch so that wouldn't of happened.

 

Gosh, seeing this video for the first time hurt. Really sucks seeing such a nice steam locomotive get in such a bad-looking wreck.

Crazy to think that this was caught on a Virtual Railfan livestream too, right in front of the camera! Pretty lame that I can't rewatch the VOD of it though.

 

475 has been repaired.

 

Well dang, that was quick.

 

Seems like it may of only been the Smokebox door that was damaged, everything internally I guess was fine or not damaged enough to cause lengthy repairs.

 

Fender-bender, thank goodness.
