More on 611: Strasburg Rail Road: Norfolk and Western number 611 is one of the most famous excursion steam locomotives in the United States. It was built in house by the Norfolk and Western Railroad in 1950 at their Roanoke, Virginia shops. Since initial retirement in 1959, the locomotive has had two excursion careers, the first for the Norfolk Southern Railroad from 1982 through 1994 and the second for the Virginia Museum of Transportation from 2015 onward. In both 2019 and 2021, 611 traveled to the Strasburg Railroad in Strasburg, Pennsylvania for some excursions over their rail line through the countryside. During the 2019 visit, a special Norfolk and Western themed photo and video shoot was held featuring the 611 alongside the Strasburg Rail Road-s own N&W locomotive - 4-8-0 -Mastodon- type number 475. Let's go back to October of 2019 for a look at the Norfolk and Western Steam Reunion at the Strasburg Rail Road

Hey Mike! Did you get the news that strasburg 31 is being restored her fans to see her steam for another 15 or more years! So you can visit the strasburg railroad and film her! But some sad news too-. They-re retiring 90 when 31 comes back. So that-s a sad story: ( but they-re bringing her back too in 15 or more years!

I love the 611. I can remember when it was at the original Transportation Museum in Wasena Park in Roanoke VA.
An now through some changes over the years and it's renewal back in 17 May 2015, it's still active and still running!
2 years ago I got to blow the whistle while it was stoked up! Good show!

Thanks for sharing the great videos! Can anyone recommend a few good locations for trackside viewing of No. 611 during the upcoming excursions on the Strasburg Railroad? Ideally I'd like to set up at a crossing or parallel road within a few miles of the Strasburg Railroad Museum and parking lot. Thanks!

611 looks so much better with a single beam headlight like they have on it at Strasburg. Definitely keeps the original 1950s look a lot better than the twin beam. But no matter what headlight she-s wearing, 611 is the most beautiful steam locomotive ever designed. Roanoke built them good.

I saw n and w 611 at north Carolina transportation museum in Spencer nc last Christmas and it became by far my favorite locomotive of all time as well as the flying scotsman real quick and when I'm 18 I'm thinking I will return to the museum to drive 611 when I have my license.

What a video! Perfectly presented, flawlessly narrated and outstanding camerawork! You really captured the beauty of 611! What an engine! I remember seeing it as a kid on Peter Gabriel-s -Steam- video! Loved watching that just for the train part, haha!

I-d say this was especially big for northeast railfans. After the 614 finished the Hoboken excursions there wasn-t really any mainline steam in the tri state area so this was the closet thing we got in years

So, for me Better just put on the museum or excursion, because in this modern era we was have Super modern diesel power, so i want just diesel and electric as hero of transportation
