Excellent videography!!!! We rode it the afternoon of 10/15/23. First time I rode mainline steam sing the late 50's! Thanks VSRR, N&W, CSX and AMTRAK for helping make this a success! It's history !!!

Awesome video! Maybe in the bear future they can do longer runs on different parts of the BB.

hopefully this isnt a one year thing, it appears vre and bb have made the investment to make this become more regular with the siding at the spur where victoria station is situated. But the rider numbers will tell the tale of the tape

How fast do you think they topped out at? Seemed like the overpass they were doing at least 30-35

You guys on the east coast are fortunate to have 611 and the class 1 railroads still allows her to go on the mainline we don’t get that here on the east coast Union Pacific is overly struck about it it hasn’t happend in almost a decade now.

This one is a bit of an exception- corridor is owned by state of VA, so they're able to play ball instead of a regular CSX/NS main.

@legotech7268 Not outright anymore. Recent ferry moves have a diesel escort on head end. It's a liability and cost no one understandably wants to deal with.

@@SCL3618 that is definitely understandable to want to have a diesel and have one on the train to escort the locomotive so it has dynamic brakes and extra support but that still allows for steam to be on the mainline but that luxury isn't available in the west coast mostly just due to union pacific. BNSF is chill we saw that with 3751.

@@SCL3618I thought and was told the reason is 611 doesn't have PTC. If UP can do it with the big boy and challenger, 611 could be retrofitted with it. I can understand liability and insurance being an issue, considering 611's history.

How many shots were you able to get of 611 leading on each run to Stauton? I’m chasing later today. fantastic video BTW! Always a good day when you upload.

We managed 5 shots on Sunday am run, this of course will vary with traffic and crowds. I suggest getting them reversing in Goshen, then heading further down to where you want to see it at speed, as to not get caught immediately in chase line.

Hey! I love the video and wanted to let you that I used the first clip of the vid for a vid in my channel. If you would rather me not do that let me know and I will take the video down as soon as possible! Have a good rest of your day or night or what ever time it is for you.
