SR 630 on the AGS North Saturday
Author: EMBell

I am still slowing sorting through all the still images we took over the past week with the 630, but we came away with a couple of video clips. Even with no smoke (good firing..thats not a complaint!) and a good sounding whistle that seemed to hit a glass shattering high note every now and then, 630 still looked good doing her thing..

I am not sure of the heritage of the whistle they used on these trips, but I liked it. It had that "High Lonesome Sound" with a N&W hooter ending at times..

#1 Northbound running along the base of Lookout mountain near Cloverdale, GA 11/10/12

#2 A lucky shot as the train plodded along the beltline Saturday evening. I never even noticed the sky or the glint till it was all over

Both are excellent videos but that twilight shot is wonderful.

Nice video. She steps along smartly doesn't she? How is the oil lubrication working out on the crown brass?

Very nice videos.

The second video shows why passenger trains were often called "the varnish."
