Norfolk & Western 611 - The Roanoker - 2016 Greensboro Trips 

The most beautiful Locomotive in the world

Would love R&N 425 to doublehead with N&W 611 in the future!

Beautiful footage, sir, thank you! Those Class J's really performed like champs and this one proved it. I particularly liked the S-bend shots, which showed off loco and train---and the foreshortening of the long lens didn't detract one bit. Any idea what those people were doing when they bent over the rails after the train passed? They wouldn't, by any chance, be retrieving coins or something flattened by all that steel rolling by? (My brothers and neighbor boys used to do that in the '40's when the MILW _Hiawatha_ stormed through our village at the "restricted" speed of 60mph. Past the western Village Limit, the engineers would haul back on the throttle, adjust the "hookup," and let 'er rip!) Stay safe, everyone.

Beautiful camera work using the smooth transition from telephoto to wide angle with pan view of the rods. How in hell do you manage to keep obnoxious rail fans from running in front of your video camera just as the train gets close? Happens to me most of the time.

Great footage James and a storming performance from 611! Thanks from Ken in Scotland, UK.

Very Beautiful steam locomotive❤

Express coming through!

I loved this trip. I rode in the Milwaukee Road Super Dome

Thanks for posting! Excellent video. Do happen to know the speed limit on the line?

Very nice video! 🚂👍🙋‍♂️

What kind of whistle does she have now it's different from the 1990's whistle

Красота!!!

Rolling artwork!

Ah yes I remember this I was on the Paul Revere stocking drinks

Hope to see 611 myself someday and I hope something is planned for her for 2020

Norfolk & Western 611 is another beautiful steam locomotive. So glad I was able to see this steam locomotive running back in September 5th 2021 at the Strasburg Railroad. Which I have also saw Norfolk & Western 475 running there too.

Just love all of your videos. I think we have watched at least 10 or 12 tonight. My pick of the best is.... All of them. You do outstanding work. Thanks to you and all involved for sharing these beautiful trains.

The trip ran from Greensboro, North Carolina to Roanoke, Virginia and return.

Where was that second shot taken?

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome railroad video with me .

Very good

Beautifull 💫💫💫💫
