That whistle sounds very haunting ly beautiful like a ghost train on Halloween.

The shot at 7:07.......... doesn't get much better than that. 5 stars.

+tva429 At 9:23, Frank Collins demonstrates his fine engineering skills: he catches a slip, barely reducing the power being applied, and then the next instant starts blowing the whistle for the crossing just ahead. A true master. R.I.P. Frank.

+tva429 Most definitely a fine show Mr. Collins and 611 put on.

Thank you for sharing this video! I posted a link to it on my facebook page for everyone to see as well! I really miss the 611! Hopefully NS will run her again!

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

Not sure how many passenger cars 611 had in this video. I’m thinking 19-22.

[@jr540123]

Beautiful old video. Just what we should have. Video and no more.

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

How many cars on 611s train in that video

[@SuperFoxyRailwayProduction6702]

Like 13 or 16 cars i guess

To be honest, that's my favorite N&W "J class" whistle the ole girl used in 1985 and 86. The whistle today doesn't hold a candle to the powerful and mournful N&W whistle. If Preston Claytor aint ever come back, VMT PLEASE put a better whistle on 611 that should like a real N&W engine.

Might be the same whistle. Sounded different cause it was mostly placed on actually different areas of the boiler.
