Spent the day chasing the 611 and 475 at Strasburg. While I won't be doing a ton of editing until I get home, here is a few shots I took today.
Tomorrow me and my son will be doing the Hosting tour with 611 and riding behind her.

Extremely cool J been watching on YouTube hope to get there in the next couple of weeks to see them. Have fun with your son and the trains. Tom
Very nice. Does poor 611 actually make any significant stack music on that line? Videos of the 4-8-0 and 2-10-0 seem to be a bit more impressive.
Looks great! My wife, son and I will be there on Sunday for cab tour and ride behind 611. Can’t wait.
The 611 wasn't the only star of the show today. The Norfolk & Western 475 put on a great performance as well.

Not really, she didn't even seem like she had to work. It was cool seeing her though, as it was my 1st time.
Great shots. I like 475’s new look as well.
We are up early for the hostling tour with the 611
This picture was taken last night looking into the Strasburg Railroad yard.
Great photos Jim. I was watching her pull into the station yesterday morning on Virtual-railfan. Looked cool coming out of the morning fog from the camera on the switch tower.

Sometimes, the best photos don't have a train in them...

Excellent photography! Unusual point of view and very nicely done in grayscale!
A few from today. Many more to come in the near future.
Who owns the 475? Roanoke or Strausberg?

I will. Hopefully this week.
Beautiful pic's thank you.
The 611 visiting the Strasburg Railroad museum got me motivated to visit Strasburg for the event. It was super interesting to see all the attractions in the area. I finally got to see the amazing layout at the Choo Choo Barn and the impressive displays at the TCA Museum,besides seeing the N & W 611 and 475 steam engines run. A very memorable vacation.
A fun day of watching the 611 and 475 in action on Saturday,9/28/19. I rode the 4:30 611 trip.

I was on the same train!
I finally finished editing.
Visit my site to see all the photos from last weekend, including some from inside the cab.
Great photos Jim. We've been to Strasburg many times over the years. Defiantly one of the best scenic/ historic RR's around.
Thanks everyone for sharing your photos and videos.
Rode behind the 611 on Saturday. She did have a little stack talk when she went up the grade coming out of Strasburg RR's yard.
