Steam & Excursion > N&W 611 Leaving Roanoke (Drone Foaming)

Good Morning,

On the 4th of July, we see N&W 611 leaving Roanoke with the afternoon excursion to Radford.  The J makes good noise leaving town with the 21 car excursion train.  Enjoy!

That is one AMAZING locomotive - good grief, one's hairs stand on end with awe and excitement when that whistle blows!!  And the coach-consist behind the J on that run was also quite interesting; THREE dome cars and the Hollywood Beach (I presume) at train's end to boot!  The fun never ends when a mainline steam locomotive is on the point!

The drone is becoming a truly amazing platform to "railfan".  I am really enjoying the creative nature of drone photography and video.

That's pretty rad right there!

Boy, what was it like back in the 20's, 30's and 40's.......

Nice model railroad you got there!
I wish people could hold the camera that still when shooting their own model railroads!

Really! Can you imagine that being a common, everyday occurance?

Great video! Thanks for posting for all of us West Coasters. And congrats on VOTD!

Very nice, thanks for sharing. I particularly got a kick out of all eager human beings on the first bridge (like a bunch of ants)!

A lot like that, these steamers could really pull but 611 wasn't around then. She was the last J built in the 50's at R shops . I remember my dad taking down to the tracks to watch the old G 5's on the LIRR fly by. First time I saw one it scared me because it was big noisy and just plain fast , I ran intot he old phone booth in the train shedlol. I think I was 5 at the time , I ws just young enough to see the end of steam out here on LI and a little in Chicago and Michigan. Dirty yeah, smelly yeah but boy oh boy just brute strength , kinda like your mom when she''s really pissed off. LOL NOt the dirty and smelly part, the brute force part. Thought I ' d clarify that.
