A 611 Sampler (N&W 611) Fall 1989

A 611 Sampler Fall 1989 documents excursions pulled by Norfolk & Western 611 in Kentucky & Tennessee in the fall of 1989. This program documents the Bluegrass Limited, a pair of round trip excursions to Danville, Kentucky sponsored by the Cincinnati Railroad Club. Also included is the climb up Erlanger Hill in Erlanger Kentucky, where the 611 struggles to keep its footing and slips a few times.
This program was produced by the now defunct Lasting Impressions, a video company that operated out of Louisville Kentucky from 1982 to 1991 making railroad videos. Most if not all of the Lasting Impressions shows are lost with only 10 having been found up to this point in Time. Nickel Plated Productions does not lay claim to the ownership of this program or its copyright. Ownership/copyright belongs to Lasting Impressions. This has been uploaded in an effort to preserve its historical contents.

Wonderful, thank you for sharing this! It’s always a special event for me when a 611 video is uploaded.

That whistle that was on 611 between 1985 to 1990, wow, that’s spooky that could be used for Halloween Haunted Ghost Train rides in every October!

Sadly, I dont have A 611 Sampler Spring 1989 at all. It is lost to my knowledge and don't where I'd even locate a copy.

[@CodeEthos]

@@NickelPlatedProductions I think I may have the only VHS copy that was recorded on. I have both the Spring and Fall Samplers since I was 5 years old, I'm 26 now.

[@NickelPlatedProductions]

@@CodeEthos does Spring Sampler cover the 1989 Independence Limited? I believe i read something somewhere that it covered the Independence Limited
