In the late 1950's the like-new J Class 4-8-4's, owned by the Norfolk & Western, found themselves on their last duties hauling short passengers and local freights before finally being retired and eventually scrapped due to the advent and arrival of first generation diesels. Only one member of the iconic J Class avoided that fate, which is preserved and operated by the Virginia Museum of Transportation, and that's #611. Joined by her smaller and much older counterpart at the Strasburg Railroad, M Class 4-8-0 #475 is dressed up as sister engine #382, famous in O. Winston Link's photographs of the Abingdon Branch of the Norfolk & Western, as a part of Lerro Photography's Photo Extravaganza weekend. Both engines are hauling consists similar to the ones the Mighty J Class and the Venerable M Class might have pulled, such as the Virginia Creeper for the 382, or perhaps a short freight out of Crewe, VA for the 611. Enjoy the sights, sounds, and experience brought to you by Blue Comet Productions!

WOW! beautiful photography!
Great photography!! Thanks for sharing this great video!!
I Remember Going Here When I Was 4! Man So Many Good Memories.
1. I like train Journey especially steam hauling Express & Passenger trains.
2. As my father was Station Master under Southern Railway (Madras),& during my childhood, on school holidays, I used to stay with my father in the Railway Station to which he was posted. I was enjoying all types of Steam hauling trains moving on up & down track enroute to the Railway Station.
3. I also had a chance to visit old Signal manual Cabins & also Computerised Electronic Signal cabins till my father got superannuation retirement.
4. As Railway employees are getting free Pass for travel we used to visit Tourist & Pilgrim spots on family tour during School holidays.
5. Nowadays, we could be able to see such different type of Steam Engines in Rail Museums in the country.

Amazing trains👍👍👍
thanks Dave Awesome video of the last Steam generation
It's so amazing!! I would never seen like this great steam locomotive.
N&W 611 is always such a pleasure to watch, a piece of working art from another era. Like watching a man in his best attire, tending to even the most dirty of business.

I heard both N&W 611 and 475 are sitting in the Sawenhalve Scrap Yard and they will sell to Romania or Ukraine.
Is that true?
I should restore them and run it on the Holy Horseshoe Curve!
This beautifull locomotive are Pride Of America ,N&W, the Holy Horseshoe Curve ,and the whole world !!!!
Run them on the main lines and the Holy Horseshoe Curve and pull express trains!

This is awesome. I saw the N&W 611 in Strasburg when I went to their train museum. I just put the video about it up on my channel. I was so excited to see it in Strasburg that I put it on my thumbnail for my video. Thanks for sharing.

The pattern of her exhaust is probably what I love about 611 it's just how much smoke blast out of her Smoke Stack when she's working that hard it's just so awesome the raw power and efficiency of the j class

O. Winston Link would have loved this and I'm sure he did and is proud that the memories he saw and preserved for us are still alive today thanks to Strasburg Railroad and Virginia Museum of transportation for keeping the memories alive. For future generations.
now we just need one going down to Pulaski Va

0:34 611: A freight train! A freight train! A freight train! The shame of it! The shame of it! Oh, the shame of it!
Daniel Creed please don’t associate the queen with a dickhead engine like Gordon.
@@NOVARailandWeatherEnthusiast But she is a streamlined Engine, not meant for freight, she is meant for high speed mail and passenger. So you can imagine what she would think of pulling a freight, like Gordon says, the shame of it.
the best trains are real true.
@@TheBestTrainsAreReal Um... I personally believe that 611 is a "he"
@@danielcreed2328 I just go with She because it's what most machines have been called, now if it has a male name, like Big Boy, then I will call it a he
Great vid! Thanks!
Love it racing the tractor!!! 🚜🚂

Really great place and for lunch
Very Nicely done!
Even though the actual locomotive seen here is #475, cosmetic changes were made to the locomotive to represent the original #382 including modifying the smoke arrestor and the whistle. The whistle used on the #475 actually came from the original #382. That whistle was made by an engineer named B.T. Nichols and was designed out of an old WWII bombshell and a Norfolk & Western Hooter style base. I ran across a Santa Train photo of a #382 consist from the early '50s in Green Cove Va. Nichols was in the photo as well as conductor Wilford.
#611 in Lionel O Gauge was presented on a plaque to Stuart Saunders, President of the N&W, ultimately the Penn Central by a Va. Chamber of Commerce in appreciation. My dad bought this piece at the end of the Penn Central Silver Auction in 1973. It went back to another collector in the late 2000s. My dad paid $100 for the piece.
Wonderful video.

One sure thank the man of Southern railway for bringing 611 back the first time in the 80s. And than thank the boys at Spencer Shop who bought her back alive.

In 1959, the mainline steam has completed giveaway to diesel power on The N&W, However, the sole survivor of N&W J class 611 was selected to pull a "Farewell to Steam" Excursion, the trip ran from Roanoke, Virginia to Williamson, West Virginia and return.

@@Nkp757railfan well at first i think they both similar.
@@nzo_6543 it's no problem, 475 gets dressed up as 382 for photo charters because there is a famous picture of 382 called the Virginia creeper. Sence 382 was scrapped they dress up 475.
@@Nkp757railfan just recently found out that they changed numberplates and numberboards 475 to 382 on the 475's 90s smokebox door, also on recent smokebox door that 475's using
3:26 This is some kind of horror.
Why?
I love steam locomotives with deep whistles like Big Boy and 611
That would be the Hancock Longbell 3 chime. 844, 3985, 4014, 611 and others all use this same whistle.
I've heard the Reading 6-chime called "God's whistle," and I agree. Today is Friday, October 11, 2019, and I will be there, hopefully to hear both whistles, as the Strasburg 90 has a RDG 6.
You could take any frame from the section of 3:24 to 4:00, make it black and white, and anyone would think it was a photo from the '50s. I like the frame at 3:38 personally for a fake 50s photo. Outstanding video

Where was the Doubleheader for 611 and 4449?
Someone make that in Train Simulator 2017
ummmm what doubleheader... wait a minute... NOBODY SAID THAT 611 AND 4449 DOUBLEHEADED!
Maybe R&N 425 should go visit the Strasburg Railroad and unite with 90 for a doubleheader, because they are Baldwin type steam engines!
That would be a good idea

I can already hear the late John Hingsbergen, the former narrator of Greg Scholl Video, narrating this, it’s a shame he never lived to see this...

When 611 first Arrived at the Strasburg Railroad, I Wonder How Many of The Amish Residents Reacted To Seeing Such A Modern Locomotive Like Her.
They've seen AEM7s and ACS64s blowing past on the Keystone line.

This Reminds me THOMAS & HIS FREINDS That was my favrate cartoon 🥺
Speaking of Thomas, they actually have a Thomas locomotive at Strasburg, it’s a rebuild of an 0-6-0 from the Brooklyn Eastern Direct(?) Terminal Railroad (BEDT) and is the only Standard Gauge steam operated Thomas in the US. They also have a Percy dummy
WHERE DID THEY GET THAT 382 IVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE
They just renumbered 475
382’s whistle sounds like a factory whistle.
