Southern Railway #4501 - July, 1991

Just uploaded video from the vhs version of "Cinders in the Summer", a movie produced by the Delaware Valley Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. This clip features #4501 on an excursion in 1991. The description of the movie from the back of the vhs box:

"Perhaps the "grand dame" of today's excursion engines, ex-Southern Railway 2-8-2 #4501 (Baldwin, 1911) was a mainstay of the Southern's ambitious steam program in the mid-1960's. Follow the beautiful green and gold Mikado on an outing between Spencer and Winston-Salem, NC on a run for the North Carolina Transportation Museum."

Again, this is not my footage, but is footage from the NRHS vhs that I've had. The video quality/sound quality isn't that great at times, but hey, that's how vhs movies get when they get older. Enjoy anyway!!

This is a great video. My dad and I chased 4501 in the mid to late 70's out of Birmingham. He and his buddy have posted some of our videos under the name of lovetoseesteam. Great action! I can't wait to see the 100th birthday with 4501 as the star attraction.

I sure hope that pretty lady gets all dolled up for her 100th birthday :-)
