- Headed out to catch the last leg of the N&W 4-8-4 J class # 611's Ferry move over NS from NCTM in Spencer North Carolina to Paradise, PA and the Strasburg Railroad where the 611 will be staying until October for various excursions, photo ops and other one of a kind opportunities. I Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Nice! I was onboard the Keystone train at the beginning.
This was so cool to watch. My Father,God Rest, was an engineer on the Reading , Pennsylvania, Septa,& Con Rail for 50 years. I used to love it when her drove the Steam Engine through our town in Lansdale PA. I am 64 now and that seems like forever ago since I road up front with him, shhhh I wasn't supposed to say that! This really brought back found memories. Thanks For Sharing!
I rode the 611 from Newport Kentucky to Knoxville Tennessee 30 years ago and it was one of the best experiences I've had in my life.
Got to see 611 in York Haven PA on Wednesday morning
My wife and I saw the 611 when it came to Greensboro, NC. I have a model of it. Sure would love to see it again
Come To PA ! Though it's not the lottery, you are one lucky person: You have Two Bee Lines Straight to Lancaster! You can either travel 436 miles on US 22 N for 6½ hours OR 429 miles on US 29 N for 6½ hours. 611 is in PA until October then you can see it in Virginia after that which is much closer, 2¾ hours 150 miles on US 29.
🚂 Safe Travels!
Nice I can't even see heat waves coming out of the NS locomotive.
I saw her 3 times!
This is exciting! I wish I had been there!
Can't wait to see 611 tomorrow, I'm happy that it came back!
That’s nice, when It’s gonna rain alot
@@DelcoImagery unfortunately but I’m gonna do it anyway since I planned it already lol
Like how you put this video together.Nice work and good catches🚂🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞
Awesome! Thank you for your efforts . 611 around the 10 to 25 minute mark.
Great video.I grew up with steam & I wish they would run again.
to anyone watching this: make sure you have headphones on, the sound is impeccable
TY! Wow!👍👍😎🇺🇸
Gotta love the microphones on these new iPhones!
Wonderful videos of the trains!
Do you love them? :3
Was reading about Strasburg taking 475 to Harrisburg to film it in the Thomas The Train movie where it was temporarily made to look like a different locomotive ~ and wondered how they drove it there, being a short service rail and all, how / where did it get on the main line? . . . then this was found and it answers my questions so I don't have to hit up anyone for the info. Glad you all survived that storm and Very Glad to see your footage. Wonderful!! Now we'll have to see if the farewell (for the time being) return trip is covered. ~ Take Care
. . . and the 611th Like🤗
Hi from Green Bay, Go Packers!! Lol!! I hope 611 goes around Horse Shoe Curve, plus as a helper they could Reading 2102. WOW!!! 2 Massive and historic 4-8-4, working together. Or maybe CandO 614, so they could both burn Pocahontas coal.
Never will happen but 2102 is coming back
@@shorelinerailproductions hi Shoreline, but remember the old saying, "Never say Never", because None of the steamers were even supposed to run ever again! Just rust away to oblivion sitting outside at a museum. Hey, that means there is even a chance for Big Boy 4014 to run on Horseshoe curve. Plus have the brand new replica of PRR 5550, T1 class 4-4-4-4 run a double header with Big Boy. Plus I can imagine if PRR built their own copy of Big Boy, at the Shops of Juniata and Altoona, with a Belpaire firebox. Lol!! Wow!! Kool!!
It’s not going to happen. 2102 is still on journals. It’s just a pipe dream. 4014 has a slim chance of coming east. It’s the UP’s baby, and they are going to milk it. NS has canceled everything steam, and the 611 has a unique in with them to be moved. No steam service to be seen under current leadership. Oh, and I am going to to say never..... because I know from the inside!
@@CPAlburtisRailfan ya lmao! UP treats that thing with everything they can possibly treat it with. And ya 2102 still is a long way out
@@shorelinerailproductions it’s not as far out as you think
Very good video!👍
Epic stuff! Use headphones as commenter below says. Amazing.👍👍😎🇺🇸
It was very yucky that day. I heard there was a tornado warning in Lancaster County by the time 611 got to East Strasburg.
I wish it would come to Southern Ohio I'd love to see it in person
You may have to travel to see it
Are you any closer to pa
@@railroaderdavis2692 no. I live in Southern Ohio about an hour N from Ashland ky. It takes 2hrs 50min to get to clarksburg wva I'm not sure how far it is to Strasburg
From Ashland, that's about 480 Miles and about 6¾ Hours away via I 79 & I 68. -or-
525 Miles and about 7¼ Hours on I 70 mostly. No clear cut routes - many turn offs but doable. In the meantime there's always VRF Live Strasburg Cam & Paradise Cam on UA-cam. Take It Easy
I heard tales of NW shopped in and here it is! Stars & glory, THANKS VETERANS..GOD BLESS The UNITED STATES Of AMERICA!
Good old 611!
Nicely done!
Thank you
Your welcome
You guys are lucky to be in the same country! I would DO ANYTHING to see this beauty but I live on the uk!! 😟😭 the reason I cant come and see it in the USA is because my family don’t have enough to travel over there
Don’t be sad, the UK has a lot of awesome steamers as well!
It turns my stomach to see that stupid graffiti all over these trains it's terrible .
Those cars NS donated to the 611 to be used in transporting coal, they were graffitied way before they were donated to 611, I’m sure some day if they have the money they will paint them
Sorry OM but that's part of the railroad and just like Hobos goes way back to it's inception. Lot of modern graffiti culture was started by the hobos of over a century ago. Can't just pick and choose what part of history you like.
Cool!
That old 1500 yard switcher hard at work
Actually that's an SW8, if you're referring to switcher type.
@@Jamersonde it’s not an 8......
@@CPAlburtisRailfan Yes it is.
It's the same thing just different years 1500 tan from 66 to 74 the 8 was replaced with the GP10 and there was an sw9 aslo. Only difference the 8 made 850hp the 1500 1,500hp
@@jeffgarrett2114 Uh, you don't know what you're talking about...lol. "Same thing different years" when talking about a SW8 vs SW1500 is like saying a Chevy Camaro and a Ford Fairlane are the 'same thing different years'. GP10s did NOT replace SW8s; GP10s are re-builds of GP7, GP9, and GP18.
I wish they would bring the 611 to Steamtown National Historical Park someday. Norfolk Southern owns 90 % of the track by Steamtown
@Maxwell DiNovo why, the 611 always goes to Strasburg
I'm wondering why did the NS unit stay on the mainline for? Is there no siding for it to stay on or are there none on the NEC?
Because they were done and we’re going back to the yard, why would they leave a perfectly good working engine on someone else’s railroad till October?
And its the keystone
@@NSReadingLineRailfan Intersting that to access the connection had to back 611 and the consist on to it. Wonder why there isn't a head - on connection instead.
@@bootsdocsandconspiracies6589 it’s just the way the interchange was built, maybe it was built that was so the EB keystone trains don’t have as much of a bump going through that switch at 85mph
@@NSReadingLineRailfan The interchange was probley there way before the keystone trains.
vid of my trip is uploading now lol
How long is she staying ?
Until October 3rd
Where does she go from Strasburg? What is her next destintion?
From what I understand, back home to the Virginia Museum it was on loan from.
611 arrives in Paradise. That implies Strasberg is 'beyond' Paradise
And in many ways it is.
Foamer.... 🙄
That’s disgusting
What?
