C&O 614 @ Port Jervis, NY, 1998

[@gcmacyman]

I was there for at least 2 excursions out of NJ to Port Jervis with Engine 614. So exciting !!!!

[@artiek1177]

I was up there got either this one or the previous weekend’s runs. Will never forget it. They had it double heading with a SuzyQ Mikado the day I was there.

[@EastEndProductionsArchiv-lm3lq]

614 was awesome to watch. Loud and powerful.

[@thomasavensjr.2790]

It's a shame that C&O 614 is no longer in operating condition anymore as this was a handsome and enjoyable steam locomotive to observe in operation. The C&O rr had an attractive roster of 12 J3 class 4-8-4 type locomotives and these engines were among my favorite types of 4-8-4 engines that were built by Lima locomotive works back during the steam era. I really want the 614 to be restored and returned to operation in the future as I really admire this locomotive.

[@Voucher765]

Hopefully when Ross Rowland the man who runs 614 gets the proper permission we may see it running yet again, Edit 614 is now being restored

[@HuntOfficial1776]

I’m more worried about who will get it after Ross Rowland Dies. If a museum gets it, then it will never be restored to operation

[@GMan9029]

@@HuntOfficial1776 I'd rather a museum get it than Ross Rowland continuing to own it.

[@thunderbird1921]

You never know. A lot of people didn't think N&W 611 would ever come back after 1994, and a number of folks thought it was doomed again after Amtrak stopped allowing excursions out of Roanoke. Though difficult challenges were encountered, both times they were wrong. 611's return and ability to find new places to run on is proof that her C&O "cousin" may still have hope. I just saw the Greenbrier the other day in Clifton Forge, that old gal looked like she might have some life left in her, but time will tell.

[@T-rick]

WOrd on the street is she might be moving somewhere else!

[@thomasdowling6594]

We moved here from the Bronx that day...missed the opportunity to witness the engine

[@Pepsiboi160]

Great news on 614, she is heading for her new owners and will be restored to operating condition.

[@HardRockCafeNJ1992]

Ahhh the sound of a great Steam i miss those running around my area. I was just in port Jervis for the Fire Perade!!!

[@janalldaffer2913]

Were There When The White Passenger Cars Had UN On The Siding And AII So The Engine?WDA.... Now That Was Strange>>>>

[@JRCreations92]

Such an amazing whistle sound to this ole gal

[@firstlast7099]

The 614 is parked in Clifton Forge, VA . I believe it was purchased by WV governor Jim Justice and painted green with gold trim. He planned to make trips from DC to the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV. I believe the liability was too much for the railroad to let it run on their rails. We can’t have steam trains, but the Amtrak just wrecked last month and it’s supposed to be safe.

[@dennislandmesser]

I was at the Turntable last month. There's a couple of passenger cars from the Greenwood Lake route and an old Diesel that looks like it still runs.

[@robmasterman]

What amazing images of this powerful machine Ray, and that lighting was perfect for filming...Bob

[@RayEvans319]

@HardRockCafeNJ1992 . Yes, one of the Fall Specials from Hoboken, NJ run by Ross Rowlands

[@cbdemond]

My father was watching all of this and told me that they were doing the runbys for a photo shoot. The burned so much coal that they ran out and had to be towed back to Hoboken. It was great to see and hear this old train.

[@dondesnoo1771]

Calvin De Mond I was there in Port was unbelievable sight as she came in . really nice day and yes she ran out of coal.

[@SooLineHogger]

Although C&O 614 does normally carry a whistle tuned to sound like a K5LA, this is definitely a SP 6 chime

[@Voucher765]

I'm thinking of watching over her so she once again see the light of day running excursions.

[@adfgfds]

Love that SP 6 Chime

[@kristoffermangila]

Don't worry, by 2027 tops, #614's going to run again!

[@WATWAREHD]

Music to my ears.

[@rubenisapanic]

thank you so much for posting this. 614 is my all time favorite steam engine.

[@NSWGR3827]

The priming from 4.30 to after 5.00 was a disgrace.

[@deejay7661]

It's actually a custom whistle built by Bob Swanson which has the tuning of a K5LA. They have practically the same notes, but a SP 6-chime is much mellower.

[@Jello12]

It only wore the K5LA inspired whistle on Chessie. Whistle in the video is an SP 6.

Ladies and gentlemen, Behold the True power of the steam locomotive, what was the power behind our great nation

[@ThatClinicalInstructor]

This.... Is awesome! Thanks so much for posting this.

[@PrimeMoverVideos]

I believe the 614 had stoker problems. Nice video.

[@artiek1177]

Yes, I removed more than once NJ Transit diesels had to pull her fit that reason.

[@steamtechnicolor461]

I'd like to see her steam up again.

[@samuellongo7299]

I wish there was a way to triple like videos.

[@silverplanet2078]

i like dat whistle

[@cpjjp4705]

What does the aux tender say? With the big white square on it?

[@piyasutra20]

NJ Transit

[@transportationproductions1794]

Looks like C&O 614 Greenbrier had Santa Fe 3751's 6-chime whistle on her. Doesn't it?

[@MasaShiranuiVideoProductions]

Transportation Productions the whistle does sound like 3751's 6-chime.

[@aceoftrainsproductions745]

It's a Reading 6 Chime

[@aceoftrainsproductions745]

Okay I don't know why I said RDG 6 chime. I think I looked at the comments before I watched the video. It sounds like an SP or ATSF 6 Chime

[@Jello12]

The whistle for this trip is a Southern Pacific step top 6 chime.

[@aceoftrainsproductions745]

@@Jello12 Thanks. Hard to believe this was 20 years ago today.

[@evanf1293]

must of been one of its last runs before it went cold again.

[@wardy98px1]

Soon to be running again

[@kristoffermangila]

Have to wait for a year and a half to two years before she runs again. The good thing is, her new owners will pay for a professional restoration, in this case by the guys at Strasburg.

[@SnoopRockinJayDawg]

hey that train looks like nkp and pm berkshire!

[@manueljdaskalos]

No, it looks much better!😊 The differences: Sand dome in front of the water dome Headlight is pilot-mounted High pilot deck Solid “cowcatcher” Makes for a very “brawny” look the NKP and PM locos lacked. But all still very classic in their look.

[@kristoffermangila]

But then again, #614 is an Advisory Mechanical Committee design; that group also designed the NKP and PM Berkshires.

[@adfgfds]

They sound exactly the same to me lol

[@T-rick]

Word on the forums is she might be getting new life!

[@jamesmdean1987]

priming?

[@mike32277]

To bad they put those commuter cars on the train. It would have looked much better.

[@artiek1177]

They had added the cars to allow for all of the people who wanted to go in the excursion run. Of course if you wanted to ride in the vintage cars you had to pay more.

[@HardRockCafeNJ1992]

was this a train ride?
