Great video as always Rich-thanks for taking the time to get it, edit, and post.
I was amused at how tight the reins were on 611 in your video; I remember pacing her at better than 90 MPH between Jacksonville and Valdosta back in the 80's- yes, Graham Clayton was at the throttle and 611 was prancing along with little effort dragging 18 passenger cars behind her on the level. Those main rods were just flying.....
Pacing 1218 was another good day as well.......The old freight engine will get up and go as well.
