Steam on the Norfolk Southern (1980's & 90's)

Purchase a complete DVD of this program at:
www.greenfrog.com/HO_SteamNSCo...
Camera of Roger A. Holmes
In 1983 Roger Holmes purchased a VHS recorder and camera. Over the next ten years he would capture many steam locomotives riding on Norfolk Southern rails in the Midwest, namely the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri. The exception was Savannah & Atlanta #750 on the New Georgia Railroad, included because it pulled many excursionists on the Southern part of the NS.
Other locomotives include NKP 765, alone and double headed with NKP 587, N&W 611, 1218, and Frisco 1522.
Take a ride back into the 1980’s & 90’s with tons of runbys, some pacing, some on train, and cab rides in Loco numbers 750 and 1218. Approx. 1 Hour 40 Minutes

It’s upsetting how mainline steam excursion operations aren’t like this anymore. Wish they will just come back to the mainline in the future! Who agrees with me?

[@nicholasmedovich6729]

Would love to have those steam locomotives back in service one day. 750, 290, 722, 1218, etc

Norfolk Southern steam history train is wonderful!

[@kazanu23]

The good old days, man sometimes I wish I could have been there to see stuff like this.

[@SeanBodine]

Perhaps one day, we'll get lucky, and see NS bring the steam program back.

[@ethanmorel2746]

Indeed! We know how awesome it is when the NS had done their own Steam Program along the system as a way of thanking their supporters of keeping the railroad strong and also feel aware that our heritage is important to us.

[@nicholasmedovich6729]

@@ethanmorel2746 let’s find a place for 750, 290, 722, 2839, and 2716 to run first ounce their rebuilds begin or are finished.

You guys make the best railroad videos 👍

[@GreenFrogVideos]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks very much for watching!

[@hainescityrailfan9983]

You’re Welcome 🙂

[@brianfoster7794]

Thank You for sharing this amazing video, 611 is one of the most gorgeous locomotives so sleek in appearance.

The Norfolk Southern Steam Program ended in 1994.

I wish there was more steam locomotives in action still even though it's rare I still miss steam locomotives

[@brendenkennedy4304]

Hello how are we doing today? I always have a soft spot in my heart for these steam engines and still will have one even if the steam era is long gone.

[@timdaugherty5921]

Also from 2010-2015

[@ethanmorel2746]

Wish we still had more like this. Chairman and CEO Wick Moorman was the rightful man to bring steam and also our heritage back to life. We would’ve had this that would last forever to the communities along their system.

Back when trains were fun
