This was my introduction to the magnificent Spirit of Roanoke herself! I’ve since fallen in love with this beautiful J Class Northern. I have yet to see her in person, but I will always cherish the memories that this DVD holds.

I recently managed to see 611 in person this past weekend at Strasburg. This and I Love Toy Trains 2 introduced me to this beautiful locomotive as a kid. Looking back on this now makes it feel I've come full circle.

The song doesn’t start until 4449 first appears onscreen, just about over a minute and a half into this video.

Oh I know this is from the 1990s. I assume around 1992 or 1994. I hope they bring the old whistle back in the near future cause the new one is dull and not pure 611.

the 611 has become my absolute favorite steam locomotive of all time (I always remember seeing it in the I love toy trains series and various other videos I've always wanted to see it in real life) and since she's returned to steam I did see it in person for the first time on the April 10th excursion of 2016 (it was also my first time seeing one of ns's heritage units southern 8099 I didn't mean to mention diesel's it was two things on that train I saw and an edition with southern 6133 from the nc transportation museum which I've never heard of until I found out that's were the 611 was being restored which I would like to make a visit) and the current whistle she has now is from sister n&w j engine 610 (the original whistle of 611 is owned by the claytor family)

Noah Carney 2016, Ever since I was a little kid. I really loved how it was streamlined and had that very deep whistle. When I found out years later it was retired, I was very sad. I always wanted it to run again and I got my wish. However due to Amtrak's greedy new policy, the chances of me seeing it run in person are much lower now. Hopefully that will change within a year. I think it would be cool to see the 611 do a double header with the SP 4449. Like in St. Louis if the NRHS does a convention there again.

Fun Fact: The footage of 611 and 4449 shown here are from rare Berkshire Productions videos, including: “The Mighty J Part 2” - 1990 (611) “Sacramento Steam Showcase” - 1991 (4449)

I agree with you about 4449. Since you believe it's the coolest locomotive ever, how about a slip stream powered Daylight? A Daylight slip stream locomotive and new Daylight streamliner.
