Posted by Scott Cunningham on May 21, 2015  Looking fantastic and a great shot! Posted by Jim McCulloch on May 21, 2015  Man, let the good times roll! Go 611! Posted by John Dziobko www.godfatherrails.com on May 21, 2015  Just like the good old days of 30 years ago. Many thanks. Posted by Mark Rosnick on May 21, 2015  Awesome shot Casey. Great to see 611 under steam...without a diesel helper. Posted by John Simpkins-Camp on May 21, 2015  Wonderful composition!! Posted by Randy Murphy-NorthAmericanRails.com on May 22, 2015  Beautiful shot and great that she is running again. I've been told by almost all UP personnel that I've spoken to that the diesel is present during a steam run only for braking help so that, the hard to come by or build, parts in the braking mechanism of the steam engine are not broken or damaged during a run. The diesel doesn't provide any additional pulling power. The steam engine can easily pull the train all on its own. Now I can add seeing this fantastic engine to my bucket list. Congratulations NS and very fine work. Thank you.

Posted by Steve Larson on May 27, 2015  I know I am seeing this in 2015, but it looks to me closer to 1955.
