Videos

Spent Saturday chasing the Southern 630 on the NS mainline between Salisbury and Barber Junction.

No diesel assist on these excursions :slight_smile:

Watch in HD and full screen if you can.

More videos to come later in the week :wink:

You can almost smell the coal smoke in this video. I think I still smell like burn coal :slight_smile:

I think this is probably one of my best videos so far.

Ok,

The forum software is going ā€œbonkersā€ again. It cut off half of my post and put the second video with the caption for the first video.

This is the video where ā€œyou can almost smell the smokeā€

Nice. Itā€™s really good to see them run her without the diesels. So much better.

Yes, they changed it. I think they use a NW whistle in Roanoke and changed to a Southern whistle.

Iā€™ve uploaded four more videos of the Southern 630 excursions.

Rather than post them all, here is the link to my Youtube channel.

Youā€™ll find them under ā€œrecent uploadsā€.
