[@JeffreyBowen-l1h]

I love N&W 611 and 1218. They are the best, and this museum is awesome.

[@TheACman42]

Awesome video Nicholas! Congrats with your first UP ACe leader as well as 8098!

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thanks!

[@umitergul4618]

NS #8347's number 7 digit below Sportacus from ROHV and NS #8098 Conrail Heritage named The King from ROHV.

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Yup!

[@umitergul4618]

EdwardJSmithTitanic/ConrailFan76 I was talking about NS #8347's number and a NS #8098's name on the ROHV.

[@ColeMHusky]

Oh wow! Awesome catches! Especially the UP ACe and 8098! 8098 is one of my personal favorites

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thank you!

[@ColeMHusky]

no problemo!

[@east_carolina_rail_photos]

Good job putting out so many videos! I understand it must be a lot of work, and I think me and everyone else who watches appreciate your work.

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thanks! Yeah, most of these were delayed to 1-2 days after they were taken. It was a lot of work as you said, but besides that, the main purpose of my recent vacation wasn't railfanning. I had a family reunion.

[@VCUrailfan15productions]

Man quite the day here. Congrats on that UP leader! I do wish you didn't have to see it through the fence though. I'll tell ya, I didn't expect to see he Conrail Heritage, my heart skipped a beat!! Wish you got a better shot of him but still quite the catch!

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thanks! Agreed

[@radforddivisionrailfan]

The intermodal was 201. The ACU was having issues according to Facebook. Cool that you got to see 611 and 8098. Conrail is one of the 6 remaining heritage units I need.

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Interesting.

[@southeasttexasrailproductions]

Awesome Video as always Nick! Happy to see you got NS 8098 leading! Also, at 20:31, GTFO NS Trash 9!!! The Dash 8 or the M-2 Should've led!

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thanks!

[@umitergul4618]

NS GP38-2 #5262's number 3 digit below Daliah's ROHV number and Dukey, Amber and Doris's TOSR numbers.

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Yep

[@inewyorkcentralrr]

My mom's family lives about 20 min outside of Roanoke, and when I was 11 I saw 611 at the museum. Let me tell you top 5 days of my life

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Oh cool!

[@jakeraptorfan]

I saw an alco century locomotive

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Cool

[@jakeraptorfan]

Thanks

[@nw611J]

Hey man good video just was wondering if you could tell me how many gallons of water the auxiliary tender holds it looks like 25000 but I can not tell anyway good video.

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thanks man. I think that's about right.

[@nw611J]

[@TheNWClassA1218]

[@newcastlerails1416]

Nice catches!

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thanks!

[@trainlover6540]

Nice Catches! I Am So Jealous That You Caught 8098, That's My Favorite NS Heritage Unit... And I Haven't Even Caught It Yet

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thanks! It's one of my favorites too. Maybe you'll get a chance to see it someday.

[@trainlover6540]

CottonBeltSD40T Yeah I Hope So, Out Of All The Heritage Units Out There I've Only Seen UP 1988, Which Is My Favorite UP Heritage Unit

[@TheNWClassA1218]

I see.

[@trainlover6540]

CottonBeltSD40T And NS Is Pretty Rare In Where I Live

[@Ferromexfan4081]

Nice video Nicholas!

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thank you!

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

Awesome Video

[@danielmaloney128]

cool. did you know that there are DDA40X's that are in museums today

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Thanks and yes I did

[@danielmaloney128]

what if union pacific never retired the DDA40X locomotives? what do you think would happen? would they be retired in the early 2000's or would they be in service today?

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Who knows. They'd definitely be renumbered when the AC6000CWs start taking their number spaces.

[@danielmaloney128]

well that does make sense. union pacific would have more locomotives then they do now. infact what if amtrack never retired the SDP-40F locomotives? what do you think would happen? would they be retired in the early 2000's or would they be in service today? this question also includes the F-40PH's

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Who knows? More accidents I'd unfortunately have to guess. The SDP40Fs were retired early because they were unsafe :/

[@MPT_Productions]

How often does 611 run each year. (Like days)

[@TheNWClassA1218]

I'm not sure what the frequency is.

[@UP4014SteamTrainFan]

+Cottonbeltsd40T What Happend to 611? is it out of Service?

[@TheNWClassA1218]

No it's not out of service. The 611 just sits at the museum any time it's not assigned to an excursion.

[@UP4014SteamTrainFan]

+Cottonbeltsd40t k how's lines ?

[@jakedesnick3070]

If there's a Heritage unit is in Minnesota, please let me know

[@TheNWClassA1218]

K.

[@brucetharpe762]

611 is having her rest because she has worked all summer long!

[@ericscheibe1076]

[@TheNWClassA1218]

611

[@MPT_Productions]

[@ericscheibe1076]

[@LiamManley2003]

[@TheNWClassA1218]

It was at one point.
