3:16 thisss is amazing!!! That fog is incredible!

It Won't Be Alone Once 1361 Is Restored.

Great to see you as always Tristan! Thanks for coming out!

A bit greedy on the throttle there. Cute little thing.

Nice video man

My dad is the engineer

Wonder if the Reading and Northern could build a new station in Tunkhannock?

Great catches awesome chase and nice video

Awesome video Tristan great chase and awesome locations you picked out...

Great vid, as always! I was on the train on the August 17th run, and I found myself waving at you a couple times in the window! I also think I was standing just off to your right during your outro! Ha!

Sounds like a D&RGW 5 Chime

Awesome video Tristan! Who was pulling the Bald Knob trip?

Great Video! I see me in the video many times riding the train!

Wow I love steam locomotives

Fantastic shots i have a Locomotive.

Great video! It was good to see you that day (I’m the one who tripped and fell in Ashland)😐

🤔 I think it needs a 8K tender, hold's more coal and water

Nice video Tristan! It was nice meeting you at Greenbank!

Great to know that 85 has returned to the Northern Central Railway.

Kind of odd that 17 is down for a 1472 right now considering she was built in 2013 and only ran for 11 years rather than 15 like most steam locomotives. Nonetheless, I'm glad you still captured her alongside 85

Great video, btw I’m really digging 85’s new numberplate

Hmmm, seems oddly familiar

Nice work Tristan!

Very good film

I ain’t hear no bell…

Great shots, it’s nice to catch some steam action!

Great video of #11. It’s one of two steam locomotives of the Everett Railroad, with the other being Huntingdon & Broad Top #38 that is currently undergoing restoration work back to working order.

The 475 was also there before being sold to a collector.I call her “The Escapee”.

It would be far more prudent to spend money on acquiring N&W artifacts on display elsewhere, including the only existent Roanoke Machine Works engine-N&W G Class 305, displayed in Saltville. I think that most of the VMT board are social climbers who only care about the museum as a gimmick to lure tourists off the Interstate or BLUE RIDGE PARK WAY. “ Railfans are treated as if they are the unwashed (smell bad).” commented a serious Railfan who was once on the VMT Board. The museum membership are told “Theoretically, the membership can nominate board members.” At the membership meeting.Almost no museum members show up at the annual meeting because we are just supposed to sit there smiling at them. Otherwise, we should keep our mouths shut

No one who knows anything at all about steam locomotives would attempt to restore this thing for cosmetic display, much less to operating condition. It was one of the ones scrapped when the N&W acquired 30 former C&O 0-8-0s that were two years old. Since the N&W was one hundred percent steam, all reusable appliances were removed before scrapping. These engines probably had serious boiler problems You used to be able to read the last time the reservoirs were hammer tested -1950 or 1951. They were probably selected for scrapping because they were in the worst shape-could have needed new boilers. They were also sitting for decades in the flood plain of the Roanoke River at the scrapyard.

I thought that whistle sounded familiar. Like one of her old whistles from Blue Mountain & Reading

For whatever reason I’ve gotten 0 notifications that you’ve been uploading so finally glad to see this. Love the fireman’s silhouette!

A wonderful memory! Thanks for this video.

The norfolk southern EMD40 and Norfolk And Western 611 doing the railroad crossing warning signal sounds so good together

i do have a plan on restoring her. i dont have the funds to do it today or tomorrow, but one day, ill take her from the VMT and set up shop somewhere to restore her to operation, or have her restored at strasburg since they do that stuff up there. 1151 is the last one left, and one day, she'll be traveling the east.

great catches and video of this railroads oiler express runs with this big steamer nice whstle action too

Promo SM

This locomotive is now numbered as Pennsylvania Railroad 331. Star Barn is basically its new permanent home.

Cool video

Is 1702 back in service again?

Great catches and awesome video

Great catches and awesome video

In some ways, mainline steam excursions are slowly coming back(namely in the form of UP 4014, Santa Fe 2926, N&W 611 and CP 2816)!!! Is 2023 a year of mainline steam excursion comeback?! How exciting!!!!

After four years of visiting right up to the North Carolina Transportation Museum and the Strasburg Railroad their Norfolk & Western 611 had finally return to the main line for excursions there.

My special needs son loves 463 especially its high pitched whistle, he once saw it double head with K37 497 and hopes that real soon or sooner than soon 497 will be restored to operation so it and 463 can do that again.

My special needs son is glad that 168 is up and running again but he also hopes that the line between Chama and Durango will be rebuilt and used again as well as the line to Torrington and the Rio Grande Southern lines and the line to Santa Fe is restored and the line between Alamosa and Antonito is either converted back to narrow gauge or a third rail is added so narrow gauge trains can run on it too. He believes that if all that were to happen it would increase business and give tourists a change of scenery.

I did got to see Denver & Rio Grande 168, at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad back in July 3rd 2022 at Antonito, Colorado.

Awesome sauce

This is persuading me to make a trip down there!
