Here’s a few shots of the N&W 611 that I’ve compiled from the last few weeks. Starting on the 25th of May, I shot the locomotive in Harrisburg, Enola, Columbia, Lancaster, and finally Strasburg over the course of roughly 5 days.
The photos are out of order, but here is a shot of NS 955 in Enola on May 26th before departing for Strasburg.
The next two shots shown are my attempt at staging our “Classic Car” (1991 Chevy S10, 32k miles) with the “queen.” Taken on May 30th.

On Saturday, May 29th, I had gotten tickets for a hostling tour and the 11:00 excursion. The second photo is a small shot I nabbed of the loco. Anyone who attended this tour on this day would know how bad the weather started out as.

Below is a YouTube link with some of my clips on the “chase”.
I’ll post more photos in this thread in the near future before, but I felt like this would be a good place to begin.
