  • Опубликовано: 1 дек 2024
  • On Monday May 29, 2023 history was made at the Strasburg Railroad.
    Norfolk & Western 611 operated for the last time at the Strasburg Railroad for the foreseeable future. This date also marks the birthday for the Queen of Steam as her build date is May 29, 1950.
    Come along as I spend the day riding behind and capturing 611 making her final runs on the line before making the trip back down to her native land of Virginia.

    What a gorgeous video!! Fascinating to hear the ghost whistle, and loved all the action of the 611, the 475 and the super-fast Amtrak. Especially loved seeing all the different people gathered all along the way, sharing their appreciation of the trains. Very heart-warming and beautiful montage set to perfect music to capture the mood. You should win some kind of award for this video, Jay! So awesome!

    What a treat!! She is so beautiful ❤
    I actually rode next to an older Amish lady on the Amtrak, all the way from Chicago to Montana. 😊 Since I work in a hospital near an Amtrak stop, occasionally I walk into work and there will be an Amish family waiting to walk over and board. So yes, they love trains and love riding them too😊.
    Thanks for the amazing ride!!

    Wow! What a ride! The train is gorgeous! The view was stunning! Your photographs were phenomenal! I love that there were children there to appreciate the train. That was awesome. Ok the AmTrack going 100 mph was a little scary...lol. I wish we had train rides here. We have old depot stations everywhere and there are wonderful mountain and river views here. It would be nice to see someone in my neck of the woods start public train rides. Is the train going to Virginia or West Virginia? I have family in Raleigh county West Virginia. Great video... ✌

    Amazing vid and some fantastic shots of 611!! A coworker/buddy of mine got the same experience as you, just the day before on Sunday, I kept nag him that he needed to go so he finally did and is completely smitten with the Queen of Steam, possibly more so than the Big Boy. Unfortunately me and my family did not get to say farewell but enjoyed the ride we had the year before.

    Its just so funny that this NfW is the same number engine that i come so close to buying on my layout but i bought the southern Pacific Daylight that looks almost exactly like this engine the reason I bought the Daylight is because of the different front end and paint scheme.but I wanted 611 too..but there very cool looking engines both are..
