#TRAINZ SIMULATOR 12 NORFOLK AND WESTERN 611 FULL#
not to mention NS doesn't want her doing what she is famous for and derailing with a whole train full of people like it did on one of its last runs. Local rumors relating to the new NS steam program is that Nickel Plate Road 765 will likely pull an excursion out of the Detroit area.Īlso. Wayne Melvindale, Wabash)ġ218, Norfolk & Western, 2-8-8-4, Virginia Transportation Museum (1991 Ft. I rode the following behind the following steamers as part pf the NRHS Bluewater trips back in the day:ĥ87, Nickel Plate Road, 2-8-2, Indiana Transportation Museum (1993 Milan Melvindale, WabashĦ11, Norfolk & Western, 4-8-4, Virginia Transportation Museum (1992 & 1994 Ft. There also several groups on Facebook willing to get the locomotive running again.
NRHS Roanoke has worked with VMT on other projects before. There is also the matter to where the locomotive will be moved to be restored and to be the right place for the project to begin. The group will then have to take her apart to be inspected by the FRA and to put her back to together. It's up to the City Of Roanoke and the Virginia Museum of Transport to find the right group of volunteers with the right resources and talent. So far the current steam locomotives are as follows:ġ54, Southern, 2-8-0, Gulf & Ohio RailroadĦ10, US Army, 2-8-0, Tennessee Valley RailroadĦ30, Southern, 2-8-0, Tennessee Valley RailroadĤ501, Southern, 2-8-2, Tennessee Valley RailroadĪs for Norfolk & Western 611, many railfans want her back in service. NS will provide the rails, equipment, insurance, and tickets. The new NS 21st Century Steam Program is all about steam locomotive for hire concept. 611 was no where around for that incident, it was in a freight yard, durring a ferry move for the cars.Īs far as 611, 1218j, NS has stated that if someone else wants to restor her or 1218 they will run it, but NS its self has no need or desire to rebuild a loco and run it. If you are reffering to the dammage to the passenger cars a few months before the last run, it was a yard job, coupling on to the passenger cars in a yard, and they coupled on to them to fast. If anything these "famous" derailments you talk about were just simple yard derailments, if even that big. I would be willing to guess that 1218 had just as many. WTF are you talking about, blowing smoke agian James? Only derailment she is famous for is the one in the Great Dismal Swamp, over 25 years ago (leading to the reason for the perminate 40 MPH on all excersons with steam). How many did she have wasn't it like 2 or 3 derailments? Now on the other hand SOU 4501 will be great to see restored back to mainline status.
