Chasing Norfolk & Western J Class Northern 4-8-4 611 Between Manassas & Front Royal, VA (2016)

READ:
Just me this year, but was able to chase all three excursions, so the end result is similar to last year's trip; in fact, I would go so far as to say it was better, since I was afforded the opportunity to go to new locations that would have otherwise been off limits due to my dragging around two other people with me (more validation as to why I prefer fanning alone). Additionally, her whistle is sounding much better this year (as it's an actual J whistle off of older sister 610), so it was definitely worth going to see and hear. Enjoy the show in full 1080p HD 60fps =)
