    I’ve enjoyed see this! My Grandfather, William S. Armentrout, was the engineer of this engine it’s entire work history.

    It's always hard to say goodbye to an engine we love so much. But hang on to your love for the tender engine. I'll bet in a few years, somewhere down the line, the sun will rise to reveal no. 2156 chuffing towards you and whistling joyfully. Be patient, and one day happiness will be yours to share with no. 2156.

    So glad you caught this. While it will probably never happen, it would still be a dream come true for many if 2156, 1218, and 611 were all in steam once again. May 2156 be peacefully at home in St. Louis.

      That would be a great thing to see.

      You know what would be cool? 2156 in front then 611 then in the back 475 but that would never happen.

    You’re catching heritage units like in the span of a week. Nice catch on 8104 and 2156!

    Shame the mighty Y had to leave, but at least she's got a good home in St. Louis. Perhaps, with luck, she might return to Roanoke.

    Hope 611 as well can try and return home to Roanoke but I don't see it happening

      By the way this Greg’s son,Hayden and I am so interested in trains especially famous steam locomotives like 844 and 1218 and number 611 has already returned to the rails, she’s in excursion service right now in 2020 because I have a steam locomotive book and it reads : “ 611 returned to excursion service and is still on the rails.

    Cool. It is nice to see a Y6b in motion, even when it is not under steam.

    • @09JDCTrainMan

      She's a Y6a.

    • @09JDCTrainMan
      @09JDCTrainMan 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @colestrains1 No, 2156 is a Y6a. The Y6c was never built. But yeah, the earlier Y6s and Y6as, 2156 included, were upgraded to nearly, if not, completely match the Y6b.

      Why y'all bullying about this
      2156 is probably mixed Y6 (A/B)

    Very neat! I went to Dollywood on Monday and got some shots and I uploaded a video on the train. Also I am going back sometime in early July to get the rest of my shots and some cab ride footage.

      It depends on if I'm free that day. I'll definitely get up there at least once this year, hopefully Heritage Weekend

    I wish we could see 2156 go back in service. It's also being moved back to Roanoke I'm the near future. Hope they don't move the 4 or 1218 at VMT.

  • @walkerdalton11435
    @walkerdalton11435 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    What will happen to her will she be in repair because I have a vcr tape of her running in the 80s-90s

    • @SmokyMtnSteam
      @SmokyMtnSteam  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      This engine hasn't run since the 1950s your tape was probably Class A 1218. 2156 is unlikely to run again sadly.

    • @destroyergaming637
      @destroyergaming637 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @SmokyMtnSteam Just my opinion, she arrived in 2015, so It makes sense to me for her to come and go every 5 years
