@Chessie9009 They often used larger than normal tenders or auxiliary tenders to increase the range. With water towers long gone, you had to stock up on the water. When I rode the 611, the local fire department filled the tenders.

I'm not sure if a lot of people know this, but there is an effort dedicated to restoring another Nickel Plate Mikado in the form of NKP 624.

why did the 611 and the 1218 stop operating?

because Norfolk Southern didn't have enough Money to continue the steam program so they had to shut it down :(

Nice, but the first engine is Nickel Plate Road. I totally agree with ConrailXChessie!

The late 1980's video is shot on 8mm video, and the early 1990's footage is shot on Hi-8.

Sorry to say, I was still using S-VHS

Standard 8mm video was comparable to VHS quality...just more compact. Hi-8 had improved resolution.
