[@SouthernerFloridain2006]

YES I’m just waiting for 722 to be in operation

[@LanesTrains]

Steam + Good music. I like this

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

Lane's Trains thanks man!

[@dominicborrayo8825]

I agree with Lane's trains this good stuff.

[@SouthernerFloridain2006]

You gotta love that Southern Toplever 3 chime or 6 chime (I forgot witch was)

[@BringBackMyYesterdaybyDee]

I'm loving "Southern Nights" enhanced with whistling steam trains ~ Glen should have recorded it this way! Long live the southern steam program and classic steam locomotives.

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

BringBackMyYesterday thanks man! It does sound great with the whistle in the background.

[@cnwproductions]

goddamn, wish I was alive back in the good old days, 21st century got nothing on this.
Steamtown USA, CB&Q steam program, High Iron, Rail Tours United, American Railroads, Reading Rambles, American Freedom Train, etc

[@elliottsaucedo442]

This is the first time listening to Southern Nights. I love this, both the music and the video. After that, I started calling my 630 and 722 models my “Southern Knights.”
Also, I think you perfectly timed those whistles into the audio. Good work.

All of These Steam Locomotives are The Greatest of all time, Also I have Some Steam Locomotive Favorites.

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

The Southern/Norfolk Southern Twentieth Century Steam Program is perhaps the most famous steam excursion program ever to have existed. There will never be another one like it.

[@Jaidyn228]

2:52 I know that 587 Had a cracked whistle but dang he is screaming this time

[@skylitejunction5589]

Very nice. Very cool to see the N&W class A involved too.

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

Thanks man!

[@jacksalvin364]

In 1994, Norfolk Southern Steam Program ended.

[@skylandersgeek7122]

I have one of the original 1950 Southern Railroad spike it was found in Alabama

[@NW-gi1cp]

Good times

[@evanf1293]

makes perfect sense why you choice this music vid to match with the southern steam program.

[@mopacproductions6669]

Other than 4501, I think t&p 610 was the best locomotive was ever in the southern steam program. I would really like to see 610 hit the mainline again someday

[@NERRP2017]

MoPac Productions yeah me too

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

Would be nice but I don't think it will happen. 610 ran well but needed a lot of things to go her way because she was so heavy.

[@trainnut2012]

Biggest issue was an overheating leading pony truck, rode behind her in '77 from Chattanooga to Emory Gap, TN.

[@evanf1293]

matches it perfectly

Pittsburgh Line Railfan thanks man! I appreciate it.

[@SouthernerFloridain2006]

Next you should do Southern Streamlined

[@cnwproductions]

you forgot 1 engine, Canadian Pacific 2839.
But sill, this is a GREAT video and it kicks ass
I agree with the people here that 610 was the best engine and it and 722 deserve to hit the rails again

[@SouthernerFloridain2006]

Southern Streamline I should suggest

[@mikestudioz216]

0:50 Best Part

Hey is the kanawha your favorite locomotive out of the bunch or in general? (Because your channel is named after the big engine p.s I love your channel keep up the great work 😉😀🙂❤❤❤)

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

Dominic Borrayo thank you very much for the nice comment and and the C&O 2-8-4 is one of my top 3 engines. My favorite would be the Reading T-1 4-8-4 Northern #2100

[@thebibletrain8297]

Steam power is the best👍

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

Agreed

[@atsfevan0242]

I really like seeing 4501 in green and anyone ever think 722 and 610 might ever run again. I know 587 will but 1218 most unlikely but at least 4501, 630 and 611 are operational

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

Evan's Megazord reviews 722 is a maybe. 610 is getting worked on as soon as TVRM 630 goes under for an overhaul. 587 will eventually. 1218 will never. And it is good to see the 4501 in green.

[@atsfevan0242]

Wait what there are plans for T&P 610 to operate again or are you saying Us army 610 not T&P 610 and I already knew 1218 might not sadly ever run again and I hope 587 will run again the most since she's my favorite mikado

[@commandingofficerkanawha7546]

Evan's Megazord reviews I’m not asking about us army 610. Not T&P 610
