    In part 1 which was made in 1986 as the very first volume of the Berkshire Production’s Runby Series, the 1950 Built 4-8-4 rolls through locations in early August of ’86 like Bellevue Yard near the Norfolk Southern Diesel Shops, Kimball, Vermilion, Downtown Cleveland on the bridge owned by the Nickel Plate Road, Euclid, the Painesville Trestle, Madison, Conneaut, Ashtabula Trestle with a crow squawking on the beams, Perry curve, Wicklife, Rocky River, the Lake Erie Shoreline between Oak Point & Lorain, the Vermilion River bridge & depot, Delaware, Columbus, & ends at the Hotspot of Marion.

    In Part 2 which was first released in 1990, 611 hauls freight & passenger trains in late April & early May of 1989 at locations like Homestead Yard, Fremont, Wheeling Tower at Bellevue with an NS Triple Crown RoadRailer led by high hood unit 7070 as well as the Mad River & NKP museum, Hartland Hill, Creston, Brewster, Lodi, Norwalk Yard, Curtice, the Portage River & New York Central mainline bridges at Oak Harbor, Huron Junction, crossing the Akron Canton & Youngstown at Spencer, Monroeville, Clyde, Yeomans which is the Bellevue Yard Limits, & ends at Wellington where a maintenance speeder follows right behind 611.

    Many of these scenes of 611 in this hour long 2-in-1 combo DVD also appear in various titles by TM Books & Video, primarily the I Love Toy Trains Collection, All About Trains, & Baby Loves Trains.
