The 611 is a streamliner type that has very clean and pleasing lines and curves. Built in 1950 at the very end of the steam era and destined to a short operating lifetime. Glad to see her back in operation if only in commemorative runs. Also, a fitting tribute to a well loved railfan -- all-aboard Dave!
May God ride the rails with you David as we mourn your loss while watching the 611on our Strasburg and Paradise railcams as she starts her Pride Month on the SRR! 💔✝🧡✝💛✝💚✝💙✝💜 RIP!
This Locomotive, is 1 of only 14 built, and is the only survivor. Built in 1950 at the Roanoke shops, in service til 1959, the Spirit of Roanoke is a true survivor, and a piece of history. What an awesome sight!!
Dave was such a kind person. He loved the Strasburg railroad. And ever since he left the cam people have felt bad. I’m one of them. And I’m my opinion we should make a bench at Strasburg for Dave. Comment for more info.
How about we find a way for him to get a funeral train at Strasburg and a memorial plaque of some form? I knew him as a mod but honestly his humor deserves way more...
First of all my condolences to Dave Chambers family. Stay strong💪. VR as usual the first hand to get this peace of history of N&W 611. These guys felt honor operated these steam loco. I would like to go to Strasburg myself. They're having too much fun over there.
Dave O was a very fine gentleman who was dearly liked by many spent several sunrises in Strasburg with him will always remember that fine man RIP Dave
I had the pleasure of talking to Dave a bit in the Strasburg Railroad chat
R.I.P. Dave O, we will all miss you and I will miss our morning sunrise talks. You were a special person.
What a beautiful way to send a good soul off...
Classic video....Thank you all
RIP, DAVID...... ❤

611 sure had some wheel slip coming into Paradise. Wonder if it was just the wet rails?
@@thunderbird1921 Her factor of adhesion is pretty low, but the rails did look wet.
Dave O was a VR legend

R.I.P Dave, you will alway be missed. He was a very good man.
I have no idea whom you were Dave but RIP. A truly marvoulus steam engine.

That is a really good idea
They do have memorial bricks for the platform. Maybe that.
I want this too let’s make this happen
I agree with the bench that would be awesome

Wow I am speechless 💔🥺 ride the rails Dave
Sleep well, brother. Thank you for everything.
What an engine! It was built the same year I was (though it's in better shape!) Train-gasm for sure! Thanks!
Nice video, RIP Dave O.
We will remember his service for VRF.
Dave Chambers
I remember when the N&W 611 went from Cincinnati to Portsmouth Ohio years ago.
Heart felt condolences to Dave and his family. He will be missed. I also agree, a bench or passenger car should be dedicated to him.
Omg I was there on the 29th, I’m gonna post a video soon, but it’s cool to see what I saw from new perspectives, gotta love steam engines!
RIP Dave, you'll be missed
Dave rest in peace Godspeed
R.I.P, Dave. We'll miss you immensely. 😔

Rest In Peace sir. You’ll be missed.
What happened to Dave was he sick or did he die suddenly?
He'd not been well for a while. As I understand it he contracted covid-19 but don't know the exact cause of death

VRF do you have seen the Ge Evolution series hybrid locomotive?
Hope they bring that locomotive back to Strasburg again this year!
rip Dave O 😢🙏💔
We'll see you on the High Iron, Dave.
How long is 611 gonna be at strasburg? RIP Dave...we’re praying for you and the family
❤
didnt 611 break the vr cam record
They should offer seating on a open top passenger car in front of 611 that way extreme fans of the 611 can get up and close as she works the rails
R.I.P Dave Condolence Virtual Railfan ☹️
611 is the coolest, although, the 4014 takes the cake by a land slide
I know that’s an opinion, but 611’s streamlined design allowed it to me much faster and more efficient than the Big Boy
Sorry Dave
On the bright side, we saw 611 a lot
Rest In Peace Dave chambers
Rest In Peace Dave
Nice vídeo!
RIP Dave. Nice to see woman pilot that beast though.
Awsome
I was on the stream at this time and was Outside with my dog and it was About to Thunder storm
RIP Dave
R.I.P u were really friendly to me
R.I.P dave
611 should visit Chattanooga and doublehead Southern Railway No. 630
Will never happen
They need to bring her out to California so she can scare all the environmentalists with her smoke
So 611 goes to the big house and has a dog run to try and keep fit sad day
Never forget your friends, even if you’ve never met them.
Idk how Dave died and I rode on 611 today for the 12:30 train
Happy June!
Iron sleepers good rool for steam
This relic belongs in a museum, not doing "her first day of work".
I love your videos and videos love you love love you and your videos love you love love you 😘
Rest In peace Dave; Thaat steam locomotive was a piece of functioning artwork
