Silent Night Rural Retreat
O. Winston Link made a famous recording in 1957 of a steam train coming through Rural Retreat, Virginia as the nearby Lutheran Church was playing Christmas songs on the bells/ chimes. Then many years later in 1994 I recorded the last Norfolk Southern steam trip with engine 611 running through Rural Retreat during the night as well. In this video I have put the two events together with some awesome results! I do not claim to own the rights to the 1957 sound recording and also the black and white night photographs. All 1994 dated video and color photos were taken by me. This video is not for sale. It is merely for entertainment purposes only on TH-cam here. Hope everyone enjoys it!

    The show went down hill when they brought that Nadine in as she was trying to act one way or another way. Always trying to be a character. It sunk even lower when they brought pop music into it and had much music vjs hosting it. I used to call in and give my complaints and was told "nothing we can do as we totally agree with you as EC turned into crap" I would talk to other people on the phone as they would tell me the same thing. They said it went from being about the music to being about what the sponsors and executives wanted.

    Did 611 spend the night at Rural Retreat? Based on the video it looks like she arrived late in the evening and the later footage appears to be early morning before transitioning back to a night shot.

      @louievictoriosantos 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      This trip the 611 started out of Bristol and headed to Roanoke, VA. The train headed during the night back to Bristol, through Rural Retreat. There is footage from trips Manassas to Front Royal, and Roanoke to Pulaski. During the years 1992-93, I virtually went out and videoed every trip in Virginia. So I was able to fill in lots of needed footage in this presentation. I certainly thank you for watching this video!
