  • Why do steam excursions sometimes need diesels? Reading and Northern in PA always stuck one or two SD50 diesels behind 425 on the longer excursions. Here there are two NS high hood diesels behind 4501. Is that for backup and protection?

  • Will be nice to see her up and running again!!! Just wonder if they will keep her black or if they will decide to give her the Southern Green paint again, I know originally she was black and was only painted green after she was brought back for Excursions and specials, so either way works, but I really liked the green paint on the 4501

  • This video was taken pretty much 25 yards in front of my old home. Would have been pretty cool to see my old house on YouTube, oh well.... Any idea on the year this video was taken? Good chance it was before I was born....(1990) Love seeing old trains like these still showing that they can still go.

  • There could very well be an excursion train just like this on Norfolk Southern in the near future! They are bringing back steam for real! #630 will be first, followed by #4501. Wick Moorman is a hero! David Goode can rot in you know where.

  • It's also a shame the caboose is a thing of the past. It's nice they got a Southern Steam Locomotive to lead.

  • @ARSchimke There's only 2 diesels with the 4501 in this video. If you look at how long the train is behind her, that's one heck of a big train for the 4501 to be able to move at speed. The diesels were there to provide a little bit of extra power and dynamic braking, and as insurance in case something unexpected happened to 4501.

  • @SLSF1522 that is a long passenger train thought but the secound diesil is not nessecery

  • She looks pretty and sounds pretty. I can't wait til 4501 comes back!!

  • nice train but why does it have three diesels with it none ancers me on that can you?

  • Nuthin' in the world like a good steam whistle...and I don't mean those puny single quill ones, either !
