As is now tradition, I went and did one big steam chase in 2023, which I'm uploading now. Buckingham Branch, a shortline which leases the former Chesapeake & Ohio main line from CSX, offered a one-off series of excursions powered by former Norfolk & Western Class J 611 from the Virginia Museum of Transportation. With them being only about 2.5 hours from me, I had to make at least one visit, and combined a chase of their Saturday train with a Friday chase of the Shenandoah Valley RR.

(0:00) Intro (0:16) Estalline Valley Rd., Augusta Springs, VA (2:00) Hewitt Road, near Swoope, VA (3:52) Montgomery Ave., Staunton, VA (5:13) Staunton, VA station (7:02) Adding another GP40-2 for the return trip (8:48) Departing for Goshen

Dan, I finally finished watching.  That is quite an assortment of passenger cars.  Great photo angle as the train comes into the Staunton station!
