Norfolk and Western: The Alamo of Steam Part 2 - Abingdon Branch | Norfolk Division

From the archives of the Western Railway Museum comes this all new series of archival railroad videos. Noted railroad cinematographer Don Kehl photographed railroad all over the United States starting in 1955. Dynamo Productions and Hunter Lohse have teamed up to present to you this look back in time to the Golden Age of Railroading. We begin this series with a look at the last great frontier of steam in the United States for a mainline railroad, the Norfolk & Western.
Enjoy this fascinating look back in time to the N&W: The Alamo of Steam!

This is awesome.

[@nathanbarger3449]

It's always great to see the lesser known engines such as the 4-8-0s, 2-8-0s, and 4-6-2s.

[@TNRailProductions_01]

This is wonderful. Having ridden over the “Creeper Trail” by bike many of times, it’s fun trying to figure out what spots are where in modern times. Great work.

Old footage of mixed local freight is my favorite, thanks for sharing! The landscape is very inspirational for modeling.

I love the N&W!

[@austinross1825]

It’s a shame that line was pulled. Link wanted to save it so badly but didn’t have the money when it went up for sale. Very glad this footage exists. Thanks for sharing.

Great video of the Norfolk & Western with their steam locomotives. I am going to be visiting the Nevada Northern Railway Museum in April 16th 2023 on a cab ride with one of their steam locomotives.

[@williamclarke4510]

The transportation museum did not exist as a museum until the mid 1960s After the 611 and 763 were put in Wasena Park.

Wow!

[@SimonTog]

Nice video :)

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

Thanks

[@Keystone1906_Productions]

Awesome video, I love seeing old memories of the M classes back in the years. Is the audio from the real engines or is some of it from other videos?

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

All audio is dubbed in

[@Keystone1906_Productions]

@@DynamoProductions-trains oh nice, I really Enjoyed this video a lot when seeing all the steamer.

[@FranciscoAntonio-rd1eu]

10:24 , Qué Naves tan hermosas , debieran re-hacerlas con la tecnología de hoy , gracias.

[@skylersknight9124]

That first train looks like 1151 I wished she would get restored she is a M class too 🚂

[@SteamIsntKing]

Please tell me there will be more K1 footage

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

Depends how much money this video makes

[@jsinc4511]

Steam is what makes engine GO!🚂🛤🚧

[@jsinc4511]

​@@DynamoProductions-trains these trains are so awesome.

[@williamclarke4510]

There is a lot of K-1 footage, especially on the Norfolk Division and in Ohio on locals.

[@Redwagon2012]

Where's 475 In this

[@DynamoProductions-trains]

It isn’t

[@Redwagon2012]

It was not built yet?

[@fuzzyhead878]

I think 475 was assigned to a different branch during this time. Bear in mind the N&W had hundreds of these M class locomotives.

[@williamclarke4510]

The 475 was faked up as a wood burner for the 75 th anniversary of Roanoke in 1957. Later, it was stored at Shaffers Crossing.

[@HunterLohseRRVideos]

475 evaporated before I could make this video

[@Train_Tok_Man]

One minor mistake, Abingdon is pronounced as Abing-don, not Abing-ton. Nevertheless, nice video!

[@williamclarke4510]

A very common mispronunciation.
