In Part 2 of our 611 Trilogy, it is 2016 – a year after restoration – and we get to see more action of this superb streamlined engine. We focus on the May 7-8, 2016 trips out of Roanoke. These trips consisted of a morning run to Lynchburg up Blue Ridge Grade, and back to Roanoke assaulting the Blue Ridge Grade from the other side on its return. In the afternoon the 611 would haul this large passenger train westward to Walton where it was turned for the return to Roanoke. Like the morning run that assaulted Blue Ridge Grade, the afternoon trip to Walton featured two climbs of Christiansburg Mountain.
There is two-camera coverage of these Roanoke Trips, which brings you two shots on each trip up Blue Ridge Grade, and multiple shots on the Walton trips as well as regular locations on each trip. We also see 611 enter and emerge from Montgomery Tunnel, and witness several scenes at Shawsville plus near the summit near Christiansburg. There are many shots where we pan the driving rods and the engine going away, as well as the oncoming views.

Edward –
Not as review of the video itself, more of the format. I paid extra for each of these three videos in Blue Ray format and I can’t get any of them to play on any of the 4 players in my house. If you like the 611 like I do, I strongly suggest you buy this in DVD format instead.

Like the first and last volumes of this series, the majority of the footage was shot by Brady Sanker. However this is the only program in the trilogy, where we see Greg’s own footage. On one segment, 611 enters Manassas yard, as the engine makes lots of wheelslips, and going at 10 mph due to some sharp switches.
