Seen the 611 Sunday when they was getting ready to leave Spencer Shops/NCTM. There was a train show at the museum and 611 was sitting beside the roundhouse with a small fire in her keeping her warm till ready to leave. I'd like to see the ferry moves done without a diesel locomotive in the consist. Just the 611 on it's own pulling a short train alone. That would be neat.

Great footage but some get to carry away. It’s exciting to see the joy but sometimes I just don’t understand for those who love foaming, why haven’t y’all joined up to volunteer at a Rail site or join the railroad? I have worked two rail sites and have operated a locomotive or two but I just don’t understand. Anyway glad you got footage of 611.

I hope to see her in real life again sometime. I last saw her back in the fall of 1994 when she was on her last run up here in Ohio. Got a beautiful pull picture image of her running at speed past me. Got back to campus and saw online that NS was killing the steam program, meaning that it was the last time I'd see her. Before 2015, I never thought I'd see her running again. Still remember the trips when she went past on the long straight stretch between Bucyrus and Marion. The engineer always opened up the throttle hitting that stretch, and when they repainted all of the cars, seeing that fully matched train cruising past was a beautiful sight.
