I had the honor of being able to see the queen of steam in person, and ride in one of her passenger cars! I've loved trains since I was a kid, so this was special for me (I even had a Lionel-brand model of a N&W J-Class that I brought with me on the trip! Showed it to the engineer after the ride and he really liked it!) On a bit of a more somber note, I've always thought of the 611's whistle as almost like a mournful cry, like even though she runs today, the queen of steam still grieves the loss of her sisters...
Such a nostalgic return! Norfolk & Western 611 back on the mainline is like stepping back in time. The sight and sound of this majestic locomotive in action are truly awe-inspiring. Thanks for capturing this historic moment!
My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🛤🚃🚄🚅🚇🚈🚉🚊🚝🚞🚋 especially steam locomotives 🚂 like 611 and is overjoyed to see it pulling excursions on a main line again and hopes it will more often like it use to. He also hopes that the 2 Canadian 4-6-2 Pacific's 1286 & 1238 will return to Virginia to pull passenger trains between Charlottesville, Gordonsville, and Clifton Forge like they did in the early 1990s.
I'm into trains too because I am always a big railway fan and imagine if there's gonna be a Norfolk and western 2-10-4 #700 n&w 611 working together pulling those passenger cars with four diesel helpers Norfolk and western in between those two steam locomotives two behind n&w 2-10-4 #700 and the other two behind Norfolk and western 611 to have that much horsepower for pulling the excursion all over the world that would be so awesome man sweet and wicked cool dude
@@SDRP_4406 I understand your point now. You helped make the confusion, you know, because you have now referred to one entity as a shortline and main line.
I hope to one day i hope to at least have one of my videos be something close to yours in terms of variety of shots angles and locations superb editing btw i hope you the best of luck !
The #611 is back on mainline excursions again. She's pretty. She's pulling excursions on the mainline for the Virginia Scenic Railway. Her boiler time doesnt expire until 2030.

22:00 as good as it gets from what weve seen in the past 7 years, amazing shot!

Iiioooiiooooo
@@bharatshinde8830 Beg pardon?
I love the video! Probably the best one i have seen so far i have a question are the spots easy to get to?
Very good just what we need cool
That smoker is nice, we have nothing like that here in SC. We love our train videos but man you make us look like armatures. Nice job, Go Tigers!!
Good stuff man! I gotta get out there next year if they do it again
Beautiful train , love the video❤
Incredible video!! I love the speed she gets at Augusta springs preparing for the climb 💯🔥
Excellent captures. 611 is such a beautiful and impressive engine. Would love to see her in person one day. Greetings from England UK.

I swear the 611 and the 4014 have the best steam whistles ever!
no way 611 whistle sounds sick
261 sounds pretty good too. ua-cam.com/video/GS_kVaTXxm4/v-deo.html
They both have Hancock long bell 3 chimes!
Amazing video friend 😊
611 RETURN TO THE MAINLINE
Great catches amazing chase and awesome video
Fantastic Film 🎥
great video Joaquim Antunes-São Paulo - Brasil
We had bullet shaper locos made in India at kolcutta.beautiful steam locos😂
Without intention of disrespect, I think "main line" is not correct. I think the video was recorded along the Buckingham Branch Railroad tracks.
The Buckingham Branch, while a shortline, operates part of the C&O's, and by extension CSX's major east-west route in the region.
@@SDRP_4406 Is your intention to claim that therefore, technically, 611 is running on a (branch of) the main line?
The Buckingham Branch is a mainline, in name or not.
@@SDRP_4406 I understand your point now. You helped make the confusion, you know, because you have now referred to one entity as a shortline and main line.
@@catreader9733 big deal

Wonderful, no diesel to contaminate the scene
Wow..... good....👍
nice what camera do you take train photos with what company and name is it just a little curios.
This video was shot with a Samsung S20 and Canon T6.

That's great news! When will it come through South Carolina?
Fantastic movie :)
