Good Evening,
This past weekend my wife and I had the privilege of visiting the Strasburg RR in Strasburg, PA to witness one of the last runs of the Queen of Steam, N & W #611 before she heads back to Virginia. We rode the train behind #611 and I took a lot of pictures and video both on and off the train. It was a wonderful experience and one I will remember for a long time! Here is a video I put on my YouTube channel of the experience. Hope you enjoy!

Another person had posted something similar which I posted a few videos from my 2019 & 2021 trips out there. Mine are at the bottom.
Michael, I'll have to catch the video you posted when I get home tonight. Funny thing is I didn't realize that your video was over on FB, missed the link I guess.
Thank you @Dave NYC Hudson PRR K4! I did put a post on the O Gauge Model Railroading Tips and Tricks Facebook page. Here is the link again for you. Enjoy!

How sad. We are planning a family trip to Strausburg in August. I was hoping to see #611
Great video ... fun to watch!
Strasburg is an awesome place.
I love how you caught the power reverse in motion right there at the end. Ridden behind it, in the cab. Chased it a few times, my favorite steam loco.

I'm sorry to hear @BenLMaggi that you will miss seeing #611. Hopefully the video I made will encourage you a bit!

Thank you @Jim Waterman! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I was glad I was up close when they did the power reverse. The mechanical engineering on these engines is a sight to behold! #611 is definately a beautiful engine!
