- On October 20th and 21st, 2023 I would chase Norfolk & Western Class J 4-8-4 #611 over the Buckingham Branch's North Mountain Subdivision. Although this is ex-Chesapeake & Ohio territory, the #611 is right at home doing what she is meant to do! #611 would haul her train from the small mountain town of Goshen to the larger valley city of Staunton. Of course, with the weather being less-than-ideal, making the rails extra slick, the Buckingham Branch would lend a hand with a couple of their diesel locomotives to assist the #611 up the mountain. This helped the #611 maintain a decent speed up the grade to North Mountain and also prevented stalling, as was the case the previous weekend. Despite all this, the #611 put on quite the show! Plus, the fall colors were almost at their peak at multiple spots! I also threw in a bonus clip of Amtrak's eastbound Cardinal #50 with a now-endangered P42DC on the point. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights and sounds of steam in the Shenandoah Valley! I hope y'all enjoy!
Nice shot in the field across the bridge there in Goshen! Got that one myself a couple of times on my trip this past weekend.
Thanks!
Wow! Amazing video! 611's working hard on those grades. Love the panning techniques you use!
Thank you!
Doing what she's suppose to do, incredible footage. I'm even laughing that Amtrak ran on some good ol jointed rail!
Thanks, Brian!
The 4th steam locomotive to our knowledge that has pulled double decks Ala CNW and Santa Fe
The #611 is back on the mainline once more. CP #2816, N&W #611 and ATSF #2926 have proven no mainline steam excursions now people wrong. These three have taken steps on the mainline. The N&W #611 is a beauty alright.
Great catches awesome chase and nice video
611 sounds like she has a cold by the way that whistle sounds
It was tuned to sound identical to how her previous whistle sounded in the 80's and 90's. It ain't perfect, but it's pretty darn close.
@@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions Oh okay
611 yes works very hard, BUT do you know
why the two diesel engines at the end of the train departing from Goshen ?
The reason for the diesels is explained in the video description.
Grazie, thank you very much for your fast reply, Yes i guess about that watching the videos of the week ends before@@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions
what micophone do you use
I use a Røde VideoMic shotgun microphone.
@@MiddleTennesseeRailProductions thank you
