Great to see her under steam again, even if only on a vid. My parents worked for Frisco, but I never got to ride behind her. Did get a private cab tour at NRHS Conv and saw her run a few times. I wish she could get under steam again. She looks sorta sad just sitting at the NMOT.
Oh that whistle is just downright awesome sounding! BRING HER BACK TO LIFE!!!! If there's any steamers that need to be brought back to breath fire again it's Frisco 1522, Norfolk and Western 1218, and 611!! Bring them all back for another railfest and have them all meet! That would be friggin cool!!

One of the stars of the '80's that I never saw. Always thought she was a good looking, high stepping engine.

awesome! Would like to see this again! I was 4 in 94 and still remember seeing a steam engine on the AGS South end. That sounds good and looks good!
