@go94th I'd be proud to have soot from a 40+ yr old steam locomotive on my cloths, lol.

@go94th I bet most of those dunderheads were just making up random crap to get free money...

I have a picture of me standing in front of it from the early 90's. I saw it in the museum in Roanoke 2 years ago, It's not the same. It needs to be out on the rails where all can see it.

One of the reasons railroads shy away from steam excursions is the stupid complaints from people. On one of their last steam excursions, CSX got complaints that ranged from soot on laundry to a farmer who said his cows stop giving milk. They paid these people money shut them up of course to avoid negative press, even though the complaints were stupid. It's crap like this and the fear of getting sued that causes the RR Brass to avoid really cool excursions and steam operations.

Great video, my wife and I have only seen the '611' in a museum or on static display. I'm a N&W fan, she's learning because of me....we both encourage support for high-speed rail service throughtout VA...support the President & Vice Presdent on this initiative!

Actually the death nail for the steam program was the incident that happened in Lynchburg, VA. Some one lined a switch into the track where the consist was parked over night, and a road train made a shoving move into the yard supposedly blindly and struck the consist with some force. I heard estimated the sped was between 10 to 15 mph. It was shortly after this that the announcement was made canceling the program.

@tenthovi this is true. Maybe they had to save money to buy Conrail, lol.

David Goode was actually a supporter of the steam program. When it came down to pull the plug on the steam program he was out voted by other members of the board of directors. Remember Norfolk Southern's primary purpose is to move freight for its customers and make money for its shareholders.
