That enjine is awsome.

@TachyonDriver Yes the J's all had the same hancock whistle. Even the Unstreamlined J-1s of 1943 (605-610), were delievered without streamlining which wasn't added until 1945/1946, but I believe they still had the Hancock steamboat whistles as well.

In the UK they run two or three main line steam excursions every weekend. It surely isn't impossible to do the same over here in the US?

@NWPowhatanArrow611 Wish I could give you a million thumbs up on this. People like that suck the joy and awe of steam from millions just so they can make a few bucks. Bring back the 611!!

It's too bad that Norfolk Southern acts like douche bags when they have THE crem da le crem of steam engines, the TRUE thoroughbred 611.
Now she just sits at the museum...sad...
Awesome video! 5*****!

Nice. Great whistle(s)
David Goode (the NS CEO at the time) who decided to end the steam program is a bastard. If the freaking Union Pacific can still run steam and the BNSF lets the 4449 run over it's rails. There's no reason NS can't run steam. Bottom line is lawyers suck and ruin anything and everything that is good in this world.
