-
@HaloCE14 a texas running would be awesome! It's definitley been done in the past, and with enough support it could happen. Two important questions though; where to run, and what will it cost?
-
@ffej980 she is i looked 3 weeks ago while in roanoke va she isnt even a locomotive anymore :(
-
Why dont they run anymore? Have they been deemed unsafe with their age?
-
you would think it would sound like 611 doing all the work!
-
wow i got chills!

You're right about the 1218. Last time I was at the train museum in Roanoke, the drive pistons had been removed and a few other parts were missing.
My dad was fortunate enough to ride in the caboose on the 1218's last regular service run in the late 80s/early 90s.

well at least both engines were re-retired ...with the chance of running again...i hear 1218...is just an empty shell...i have been to roanoke VA...and both engines are well preserved there...

I hope that we see ATSF #5011, SP #4460, UP #4006 ad other steam locomotives under steam again then Frisco 1522!

Whow! Great video. It's strange to think that both of these great locomotives have been reatired.

Yes, both are now retired and how many more will follow. I did enjoy the days that I rode behind the J 611 and the 1218 on excursion. Rode up in the cab of the 1218 while in the yard at Chattanooga. I was sadden when the N&S pulled the plug on the steam program. Thanks for the comment.

I live where the 611 no sits. I think the 1522 it there too. I need to go to the Transportation Museum and see. I haven't been since I was little. Back before the moved it downtown after the flood of 85. I would love to see a old steam locomotive run in real life but don't know how to find where one is running.

The 1522 is located in Missouri, The 1218 is with the J611 in Roanoke. If you are looking for steam engines that are still in service, there is a site that I use is at steamlocomotives dot com.

1522 was doing all the work. Probly train was light.

The train was made up of a total of 24 units, 2 engines with tenders and Aux Tenders pulling 18 passenger cars. The train was loaded with passengers headed for Atlanta, GA. for a railroad convention.
