I'm glad I was able to see 611 on her birthday and last day operating in Pennsylvania. Hope you enjoyed the ride and views of this beautiful locomotive.

Kind of reminds of my Dad's last run driving the 56 streetcar from McKeesport to Pittsburgh & back. 😢

Happy Birthday Norfolk & Western 611. 🎉🎊🎈

Good lord, what a gorgeous train...

Cool shots! Glad we both got to see 611 before it left Strasburg

Awesome video to see the 475 and 611 working.

Thanks for taking us along! I really enjoy the slide show at the end of your videos. You're a very talented photographer.

Greetings, Barbara Pigeon Bray Hoping all is well with everyone there.

Beautiful train ❤

Great footage, very nicely done!

Love the shot of the train coming through the trees. ❤❤❤❤

Awesome video love watching the trains thanks

That was a rare moment having two steam engines pass each other this day and age. Thanks for the video. Take care.

Such a great video. I have to get back there and a bunch of other stations. Thanks Jay, fantastic as always.

Definitely a beautiful train very nice phot9s Jay. Central California watching

My family and I were there that day

Awesome video JP! Great you got to document it while it was there! I can't be sad it left, it's back close to me again now, I'll have to take me a trip through the Cumberland Gap and ride over to Roanoke and see her!👍

Excellent video of a beautiful locomotive.

What a treat!! She is so beautiful ❤ I actually rode next to an older Amish lady on the Amtrak, all the way from Chicago to Montana. 😊 Since I work in a hospital near an Amtrak stop, occasionally I walk into work and there will be an Amish family waiting to walk over and board. So yes, they love trains and love riding them too😊. Thanks for the amazing ride!!

Happy Birthday 611!! 💖🎊🚂🍾💖 What a beautiful beast!! Jason, thanks for chasing her all over the countryside for this video. Loved the ride, thank you Matt!! Was a gun time!! 💖🚂💙💖🚂💙

Always enjoyable chasing a beautiful locomotive like this one.

Welcome to beautiful Lancaster County!

I was fortunate enough to ride on 611, two days before her departure to Roanoke. Thanks to all staff for an amazing ride!

That train ride and Chase was magical. Excellent all around.

I had to chuckle at the “Balloon” sounds.

I used to live a few miles from there nice video buddy

Amazing vid and some fantastic shots of 611!! A coworker/buddy of mine got the same experience as you, just the day before on Sunday, I kept nag him that he needed to go so he finally did and is completely smitten with the Queen of Steam, possibly more so than the Big Boy. Unfortunately me and my family did not get to say farewell but enjoyed the ride we had the year before.

What a gorgeous video!! Fascinating to hear the ghost whistle, and loved all the action of the 611, the 475 and the super-fast Amtrak. Especially loved seeing all the different people gathered all along the way, sharing their appreciation of the trains. Very heart-warming and beautiful montage set to perfect music to capture the mood. You should win some kind of award for this video, Jay! So awesome!

@@JPVideos81 I’ve been fortunate enough to catch her on three separate occasions; saw her in the 28th this year for the last time for the foreseeable future as well

Very cool!

Glad to see these vids! In the 1980s saw and rode behind the 611 and Nickel plate road 475, my mother in law never drove so we took her to ride few times

Nice lol. Thanks for checking out the video.

Wow! What a ride! The train is gorgeous! The view was stunning! Your photographs were phenomenal! I love that there were children there to appreciate the train. That was awesome. Ok the AmTrack going 100 mph was a little scary...lol. I wish we had train rides here. We have old depot stations everywhere and there are wonderful mountain and river views here. It would be nice to see someone in my neck of the woods start public train rides. Is the train going to Virginia or West Virginia? I have family in Raleigh county West Virginia. Great video... ✌

I'd be ok seeing old depots and river views haha. I believe Roanoke Virginia.

kewl here in virginia we have 611 its a kewl looking steam engine

What a gorgeous locomotive! Wow that ghost whistle gave me goosebumps again! I remember that from another one of your videos too, it's so cool! It is very awesome that you documented this JP and what a great experience for you and Matt and for us! Enjoyable ride and loved seeing all the run bys and all the great views. Wonderful video, thank you! 💙🚂🚃🛤

Nice work your two thousand subscribers away from tying WWOT

Its just so funny that this NfW is the same number engine that i come so close to buying on my layout but i bought the southern Pacific Daylight that looks almost exactly like this engine the reason I bought the Daylight is because of the different front end and paint scheme.but I wanted 611 too..but there very cool looking engines both are..

I was there filming her on Saturday and saw MattG and Mel on the train. If they have straw hats they are Amish

That was cool. Especially the ghost whistle. Sad in a way as it’s her last voyage. What’s the old girl's ultimate fate?

She's back in Virginia now and I'm unsure of current or future plans

I used my Nikon D5600 for the photos in this video.

Did they change her whistle this year

I have tried to find why 611 is retiring. All I could find is that it will retire. Anyone know why 611 is being retired?

Is it going back to Virginia for the same thing or going on static display?

Stay tuned for exciting future 611 operations.

Honestly, none of the steam locomotives whistles, are ghost whistles.

Whats gonna happen to it?
