GREAT video -- wonderfully shot in hi-definition widescreen, it perfectly captures 611's return to steam. There are a few new 611 videos out there that look no better than the videos that were released in the 1980s and 1990s -- why would ANYONE want to watch 611's 2015 trips on a video that was shot in standard definition and presented in the old 3:4 television ratio? We are in the 21st century now, and video technology has taken a quantum leap since the 611 was last in steam -- the producers of 611 REBORN have taken full advantage of this new technology, and in doing so they have created the 611 video I have been dreaming of for years and years!

i bought this back in febuary and this was excellent reborn vol.1 (the first in the reborn series) looks at the return of norfolk & western class j northern no.611 after she spent 20 years of sitting cold and silent at the Virginia Museum of Transportation when ns ended the old steam program by december of 1994 the video first starts with the homecoming trip back to roanoke on may 30th (a day after 611's 65th birthday) she had been restored by the north carolina transportation museum between 2014 to first start of 2015 many crowds of railfans seemed real excited for the return of the 611 the next part of the video than jumps ahead to the first excursions out of manassas Virginia starting with the ferry move on june 3rd than the excursions would take place of june 6th and 7th than the video concludes with the ferry move to Lynchburg on june 8th these videos are so great capturing the 611's run in the 2010's (i just have the first third fourth and fifth vols.) i am considering the second vol. since i've liked the four i have really great videos |
