*I apologize for not posting for a while as I've been having memory issues on my current computer. All future uploads are on hold until I can acquire a new computer in the next few months.*
This clip is from a set of videos from the same day that will likely never see the light of day. NS SD70 #2554 leads train 118 into Linwood. Sadly all the NS SD70's are now in storage in places like Chattanooga, Roanoke and Altoona awaiting rebuilding to SD70ACC's.

The 6900 is a beautiful locomotive! Great video!
Where was this train going to?
3:20 you can see how fast she's comin' around the bend and one of my first thoughts was: Is she haulin' the mail?!
I sure wish some diesels in our day could have quilling M5 horns installed. 😔
3:24
Jake you should pick one of those up from the new atlas run
Pls upload again
I will hopefully soon! I've just been extremely busy lately
Greensboro and that museum in Tucson, AZ have to be some of the best places for finding trains
I haven't watched this video since I was 6 years old. I've been looking for it
New Subscriber!
AWESOME CATCH MAN! THE SD70ACU IS A BIT BIGGER THAN SD70ACE!
You Do Know 611 is a Streamline From Norfolk and Western Railway Right.
Love it. My son and I are literally across the tracks from you in the first shot. Thanks for sharing!!!
Are the locomotives at 7:14 and 0:20 Up loco's?
Former UP. NS acquired em in 2014 and have since been rebuilt as SD70ACU's.
Its now been 5 years since this test run and alot has changed since 611 returned
fantastic, 611 is the greatest!
2 years ago i when railfanning in high point. I saw a NS D40-9w lead a mixed freight with a UP AC4400CW and a NS SD60E
You got 666 subscribers! 😱
Enjoy it
My church is close there and I've always wondered what was under there
What was the fastest they were allowed to go?
Awesome video! That opening shot at sunrise just blew me away. Great catches!!!
That was a great compilation! Thanks for sharing this awesome day. Foreign power, horn shows... Thumbs up!
Great video! Loved the compilation!
Hi! Nice compilation! Thanks for checking out our channel and subscribing. I hope you'll enjoy our videos. I railfan with my son in London, Ontario. We mostly film CP, CN and VIA Rail; but we get on the road every once in a while to see what we can see around southern Ontario. You've got a great channel! I've liked and subbed too.
I love the sound of the mighty 611 !!
Cool catch! You were lucky to have gotten 2 NS Heritage AND an AC-DC conversion unit. I have subscribed. Would you mind throwing a sub back?
Great locations, Nice Scenery, Quality of programme is superb. (from Canada)
I love that classic M5! May I use this video to make a horn in Train Simulator? Mainly for the Western Pacific FP7.
Me and My Dad was on Camera
Great shots, awesome catches man! Greetings from Southern California; - Larry

Nothing but Gevos, EMD F unit and the steam engine #611
Some Steam Engines works hard upgraded with helpers.
3:48 is Altavista. That's the old depot.
I believe Leviathan is also the name of a Central Pacific locomotive
It was and she was a sister locomotive of the Jupiter who represented the Central Pacific at Promontory Point.

Great video, nice lashups, nice catches, great shots! - Balerio
I love the run byes, the Whistle, the plumes of smoke, no diesel can come close to that.
Great video! Minor note for your description: NS 6110 sat this one out. :)
I wish I saw it in Dallas and I never did before it derailed in PA
