I do railfanning videos from CSX and other railroads by me. I Also do Train and Railyard Simulator railfaning from 3DINTEGER. I do wooden trains railfanning and Railfan memes. And I also make RU-vid Poop videos some times.
Norfolk and Western 611, also known as the "Spirit of Roanoke" and the "Queen of Steam", is the only surviving example of Norfolk and Western's (N&W) class J 4-8-4 type "Northern" streamlined steam locomotives. Built in May 1950 at N&W's Roanoke (East End) Shops in Roanoke, Virginia, it was one of the last mainline passenger steam locomotives built in the United States and represents a pinnacle of American steam locomotive technology. No. 611 hauled N&W's premier passenger trains between Norfolk, Virginia, and Cincinnati, Ohio; and ferried Southern Railway's (SOU) passenger trains through the Blue Ridge Mountains between Monroe and Bristol, Virginia. Retired from revenue service in 1959, No. 611 was donated to the Virginia Museum of Transportation (VMT), where it became the sole survivor of the 14 class J locomotives. In 1982, No. 611 was restored to operation by N&W successor Norfolk Southern (NS). It became the mainline star of the railroad's steam program, pulling excursion trains as far south as Florida, as far north as New York, and as far west as Illinois and Missouri. In late 1994, when liability insurance costs led NS to end its steam program, the locomotive was again retired and moved back to the VMT. In 2015, after a year of restoration at the North Carolina Transportation Museum (NCTM) in Spencer, North Carolina, No. 611 returned to mainline excursion service as part of the NS 21st Century Steam program. That program ended in 2017, and the VMT has since operated No. 611 in excursion service and as a traveling exhibit, spending time at the NCTM and Strasburg Rail Road (SRC) in Strasburg, Pennsylvania. Frequently invoked as an icon of Roanoke and its railroading history, No. 611 was declared a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 1984 and was designated the official state steam locomotive of Virginia by the Virginia General Assembly in 2017. It was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) in 2023. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.

Add Amtrak Phase 5 paint scheme both versions and material handling cars in phase 3, 4, and 5 paint schemes, scrapyard, iron ore mine, intermodal container port, and mountainous tracks between Black Valley and Bluecliff and Greenfield and Lakeyard.
Yea this is what happens to me were I miss a train or I just get there just in time Good you were able to catch this auto rack with a horn show just in time before it got away
Awesome catch catching heritage 130 leading this limited running I saw this train on the schedule it sad it was running 4 hours and 35 minutes late but at least you were able to catch it
@@andrewtherailfanner4 yea I get what you mean Yea because when us fans see a train we never now if there going to be on a train like this leading or sadly trailing or we never even though if there going to be on a train the same day we’re out there at are track spots But it’s good surprises to get to seem any of them
0:39 I don't want to be "that guy", but that would be the B.40-8, not B.40-7 The B.40-7 doesn't even exist in the first place, however there are B.30-7s
Oh sorry you missed a heritage unit but that happens like it happend to me wre I just miss a train or I just get there just in time That’s all part of spotting
Yea I seen that they always don’t want to move when they get towards the exit of the yard they always sometimes want to just sit sadly or even back up away from us railfans too
