Nice to see 611 back home in Roanoke. Hopefully she can come to NCTM later this year!!
Well it's kind of disappointing because I was actually going to be able to see 611 until they decided To move her to Roanoke I wish it was at least delayed for one month
Superb video, Rowan! Captured N&W 611 in many great old N&W haunts. Saw her last week near Strasburg, but this was great. Thanks.
Thanks Jack!!
Amazing video. I can't imagine what it was like to run these old steam engines back in the day for real duty.
Super video Rowen. Nice to see the 611 on the main rails again.
Great video Rowan, glad to see 611 hit the main line! You and me both hope this will not be the last time for her!
Glad she’s back in Roanoke. Thank you for filming her, RR 😊 *chef’s 💋*
Me too, she definitely needs a break, that's for sure
Incredible video Rowan so happy you are back on RUclips
Thank you, Rowan! So glad to have the lovely lady back home in ROA. Salutations from LYH :)
So awesome N&W 611 is such a gorgeous engine
Rode behind these J’s when I was young lad. Most beautiful of any engine in the world
So glad to bring back the fond memories for you!
Awesome catches rowan wish I could’ve seen it again the last time I’ve seen 611 was in 2016 when me and my father took a ride in it and that was the best time of my life keep up the great work rowan you do a great job on your videos
Rowan,beautiful photography,as usual! Your eye is great on calendar shots,both coming and going!! 611 is simply awesome! I've been blessed over the years,in having cab rides,even when I was a teen,so that excitement just never quits! Thank you,bro!! Thank you 😇!
Thanks as always Robert Huron
Would absolutely love to see 611 in person, fantastic video Rowan!
This video was very professionally shot and narrated! Great job, Double "R"!!!
Thank you so much Rick!
Thanks for a great video Rowan👍
Glad that 611 is back home , hopefully I will have the opportunity like you did to participate in Throttle time with The Queen of Steam... Great video Rowan 👍
Awesome video. We made your video by the flag pole at Shenandoah- Welcome back 👍
Thanks! Great to have you out!
you have by far some of the best and most informative videos of railroading Ive yet to see, Great Job man Great Job!
Nicely done with the past and present shots
Many thanks!
I am soooo glad the 611 is back home in Roanoke VA, she definitely needs a break, that's for sure
The Queen of Norfolk and Western steam
The mighty 611
Way a Go Bro 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
🤘🎸🤟 Rock On RockStar 🤘🎸🤟
Well done Rowan, and thabks for bringing us along!
I loved those "then and now" shots of Luray and Stanley! I wonder if the restaurant that was on the right side of the street in Stanley down by the tracks is still in business as it was in O. Winston Link's time?
On another railfan video the videographer said one the 611 crew told him there were "plans" for 611 as far as operation goes but wouldn't elaborate. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Thanks again!
Lol, I'm the 611th viewer of this video. Amazing video, Rowen. I also just saw the 9793 on ns 30t
great show. You Know That Territory Makes It Even Better.
Beautiful videography and so cool!! Thank you!
Was on the last Ride with her last weekend! So great to be in the cab with you! How cool is that!
It was cool, was definitely remembering our run this weekend!
@@RailfanRowanThe video is amazing! Hope to run into you again at Strasburg Railroad! 💫
I chased her too from Buena Vista-Roanoke. I had never seen her before. She’s a beauty
Holy Crap! Where have you been! Was nice to see a video in from you in my notifications, and as always the video was a treat to watch! Thanks!
I been here, double check notifications, I've been seeing weirdness in my subscriptions where I don't see the videos I want to
That’s awesome! I visited the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke on June 11th and saw it by surprise. I didn’t realize it was done with its tour already lol so I was ecstatic.
Rowan im going to pa in September if you want to join us you welcome im going altoona Cresson and Horseshuve curve
I would love to join! Keep an eye on my social media to see where I'll be!
A singularly beautiful locomotive.
Hey Rowan hope you’re ok man miss seeing your amazing videos
Nice video Rowan! In the first clip I can see myself! I was in all black! I also remember being in your 611 video in 2021 at Powell, didn't exactly meet you again but I saw ya' down there and thought it was you! Nice video Rowan!
Thanks so much, you should have come up and introduced yourself!!!!
Rowan if you want you can dtive up to michigan and we try to railfan i got a good spot
I plan to be in Michigan in December
I sure would like to hear the Claytor Whistle back on her.
That definetly was her most recognizable voice.
Pity it's never going to happen though.
Awesome video! The N&W 611 is a beautiful piece of machinery!
Thank you!
@@RailfanRowan you're welcome!
Magnificent catches of the train coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, my friend, I subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the USA.
Thank you, to God be the Glory 🙏
@@RailfanRowan oh yeah, mate, hope you enjoy my channel

Cant wait to see more vids from u bro! hope you got the katy heritage unit today.
@railfan rowan awesome video and 611 keep up the good work my friend I enjoyed watching your videos even if my arms are hurting me too much
Thanks Sean, glad I can bring some joy!!
It's awesome to have you back rowan! It's like old times. I love 611, i don't know why but almost every time i see this locomotive it touches my heart and brings a tear to my eyes. All steam locos have this effect on me. I heard 611 was going away. I wonder why? Hope its not for long... You and jackson need to do a video Rowan. 🙂
The 611 is not going away. Stay tuned for an exciting announcement about future operations with 611 at a later date coming soon.
@@chooch1764 THANKS! That's good news. 🙂
Another great video Railfan Rowan keep it up man and be safe out there while you’re railfanning please
Phenomenal video Rowan!
Thanks Jackson! You the best
Incredible shot of the 611 Rowan! Great vid!
Another great video Rowan. Probably one of the best Narrations I have heard from you. Excellent editing, as always! Hope all is well.
Beautiful train!!!
For my first time, I saw it in Roanoke, and I was amazed to see it, and it was really nice and big when I saw it
I Vote for 611's next Stay to be at the RBM&N why? because there's plenty of Room for her to run there and maybe even a 611 2102 Doubleheader
That would be amazing!
Nicely done Rowan. Hope your doing alright.
Great video Rowan
So fun and exciting that you get to see this trains for the 3 time in a video you should come to Alabama to see the dixie line locomotive that carried coal for Memphis Tennessee to Birmingham Alabama in the 60s.
Nice video, Rowan! I enjoyed watching the video!
enjoy your rest under the shed again 611
Nicely done video. Subscribed. 👍
Thanks so much John!
Do you everget a chance to wave at the VR Cameras there at the Virginia Transportation Museum?
I visited VMT and I found this locomotive Interesting and I love your videos.
Great video. Really love the steam whistle
Great video Rowan! I’ve always wanted to see 611, any steam train really, I have seen SOU 630 tour the CNO&TP but that was 2013 I think and I was really young and don’t remember much of it, I would have been 3 to 4 when that occurred
What do you use for your audio when narrating your videos off camera. I've been doing some narrating on my videos lately, but I'm never able to achieve a "professional" sounding audio like you and distant signal produce.
Well the 1st big change is gated crossings and the classic and nice crossing signals was replaced
Could you please post more often.😊
Very excited to see this video! God bless you Rowan, Christ is good!
Thank DL TGBTG
Great video
The king is back again
Awsome 🚂
Yes 611 Locomotives that was amazing.
Happy 611 Day!
Where are you bro? We miss ya!
Fantastic chase Rowan! I do hope someday the grand dame can return to Strasburg. Or perhaps better yet, she can do NS excursions once again...
Sounds like NS might be entertaining that idea, no doubt, since they have a MASSIVE PR hole to dig out of
@@RailfanRowan THAT’s for sure…
Stay tuned for an exciting announcement on future 611 excursions at a later date getting closer by the day.
Awesome video of the sunlight shining on 611 paint. Will you get a chance to be railfanning with the 2102 in July, August and September?
I certainly hope to make it up!
@@RailfanRowan When the scenic train for the Gettysburg and Northern comes back to life will you be there for the grand train ride/ experience and it will leave at Gettysburg Pa and go to Biglerville Pa and then back to Gettysburg Pa
Since you're a conductor, what's the coolest or rarest train you've ever been assigned to?
Very good question, I should address this in my next live! I've had weed spray trains, ballast trains, I've rescued stalled trains on mountains, quite a lot of fun!
@@RailfanRowan Cool! have you gotten to drive any heritage/special interest units?
Hey Rowan From Virginia Beach, VA, Do You Want To Meet Up in Ashland, VA between 3:30pm EDT and 6:30pm EDT on 6/17/23? Cool Video As Well.
Nice video. I like the comparisons with the past. Why there is always a diesel in front of the steam locomotive?
PTC is required in all mainline trains, including ferry moves. 611 is unequipped
guys he isnt uploading :(
Why?
Man that was fun chasing her in VA
6:39 on that strip track me and ryder were saying how good of a shot that would be
When did this move occur? I was at the festival in Manassas yesterday.
This was Thursday and Friday
Great work as always. The then & now shots cool!!! But my fear is she is being brought home to ROT. How long before her FED boiler INSP is due??? 1218 is still a mess. SAD
611 will not rot, there are plans for her! 😉
@@RailfanRowan I so hope you are right. I am vested in 611 and my wife and I have the retore 611 T shirts to prove it!!! LOL
Hopefully 611 can visit the CVSR or Indiana Northeastern Railroad and reunite with 765 for a second time doubleheader since 1984!
She better be coming back to Strasburg really soon. It’s not the same without her
The 611 has operated at Strasburg for a few years. It seems the market for that location has played out. The 611 trains at Strasburg haven’t sold as much train tickets as they have back in 2019. Its best for 611 to go run excursions somewhere else, so other folks from other regions can experience 611.
Ey Railfan Rowan, glade to finally see you posting video's again
Awesome catch! Did you get the UP Katy on 13Z It was leading it this morning
I did catch that!
Nice video & nice catch
Good to see 611, The Queen of Steam, back home. However, I am sorry she did not return under her own power. Would have been a grand sight.
Another cool and awesome video
Great work 😊
Why is there a NS locomotive in front of the steam locomotive?
And the locomotive has a very loud bell lol 😂
I try to come out and get him but I had work that day
I love all you're videos
How fast can 611 go? I would love to see her in person but that will never happen so I am enjoying seeing her on here
Rumor has it, 100+ mph
@@RailfanRowan wow that's pretty cool Thanks
Hope you're ok bro
Awesome Rowan.... your usual first class work!!!!
Thanks Phil!
@@RailfanRowan by the way, I forgot to mention how much I loved your re-created shots of O Winston Link. That was a brilliant touch on your part Rowan
Can you come to Vaughan Ontario on Monday June 12
What's there on June 12th ?
@@daveyboy_ trains
@Lilia Borshiov more specific maybe
Rowan when are you going upload again?

The Last Day Of 611 Steam Train
The 611 could shove that diesel if they'd let her....
Absolutely!!
do you think you can vist a CN line sometime this year? cause i see them everyday
What's with that damn diesel mucking up the appearance of the steamer?
PTC required on the leader :/
Hey Railfan rowan i was just wondering if you can come out to railfan tomorrow in Harrisburg with me and Peter if your not busy just curious
How does the engineer of the 611 even see the track ahead of him with the diesel in the way?
