N&W 611 on the Old Fort Loops

[@sherrysetliff2502]

Old fort and the saluda grade, great train history.

[@alanwebb9284]

In 1960 I rode a passenger train from New York to Asheville which used the Old Fort Loops. The train conductor took me to the platform on the caboose where we could see the Old Fort Geyser shooting a water spout. He explained there was only one geyser, but we would see it six or seven times. Can't remember which number is correct. Billy Graham's home in Montreat was also visible from the train. I was only nine years old at the time, but still have wonderful memories of the trip.

The ariel shots of the 611 working on the loops are absolutely amazing and gorgeous!

[@tedehrhard9228]

Didn't know she was there.

[@tedehrhard9228]

You really should capitalize proper names.

SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@haroldwilkes6608]

Old Fort, grades and curves, she's pulling like she means business! Your view looks like an N Gauge railway I'd love to have.

The queen of steam at her best what a beautiful locomotive

I want the 611 to do more excursions on Asheville just so I can ride it

[@earlhamil731]

NS lowered the speed limit and they can’t make the round trip in time now.

[@earlhamil731]

Pretty steady with the drone

[@MrSteelman335]

8:04 I was there at that crossing and got one of the most amazing shots ever. Did you see the dumbnut who walked across the bridge?

[@michelleroberts5472]

Some of the best fireing U will ever see fantastic

[@benchedthatpiece]

Outstanding video, very nice work!

[@wobblinwheel]

it seems their firing abilities have improved a lot from the black smoke of last year!

[@Grainexpress]

Excellent video and great job flying the drone!

[@8989theman]

AMAZING!!!

[@DieselDucy]

Helicopter? How did u shoot this? AMAZING!

[@AEP817]

From the video description: "611 performed beautifully on the ascent, and we were there to capture the climb through the loops with our drone."

[@ScottTaipaleRail]

Very nice. Was the sound recorded from the drone also?

[@ljones121]

cool video, now I wish they would rebuild N&W 1218

[@thomasfishersr.3526]

Not 100% sure but I thought I heard talk of a #FireUp1218 campaign somewhere. But don't quote me. I saw both the 611 & 1218 along with the 2156 at the VMT in Sept 2015.

[@jetskier47]

Just curious what drone did you use. Nice video. I am trying to get shots loke that. Love it.
