| 611: The Final Excursion on DVD from Valhalla This program preserves the final chapter in the operating history of Norfolk & Western 4-8-4 J Class locomotive No. 611. Norfolk Southern announced the end of its steam program, effective with the final excursion of 611 on December 3, 1994. That cold Fall day afforded spectacular scenes of 611 steaming from Birmingham, AL through hills and valleys to Chattanooga, TN. Two days later 611 left for her "ferry trip" to Roanoke. See all the action of her last five days under steam, including her arrival in Roanoke flying black flags. Read the poignant inscription on her cab: "I am the thoroughbred of steam- Born to run- Born to be free- Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they do!" No other streamlined steam locomotive can match the sheer power and excitement of the 611, with her throaty whitle and coal-fired smoke. Enjoy the sights and sounds of this beautiful lady of the South over and over again on this DVD, because this is the final excursion! This DVD program features Hi-Fi audio with limited narration, and is packaged in a durable plastic library case with a full color cover. * A few words about compatability and regional encoding. If DVD is listed as or unknown and your DVD player is more than a few years old, check out this site for an easy way to check whether your DVD player is capable of playing 's. Over 96% of DVD players will play a with no trouble. Almost all of the DVD's we carry are NOT regionally encoded (sometimes refered as Region Code 0) which means they will play in any DVD player in the world that is capable of NTSC format. Many DVD players found in countries that use PAL format can also play NTSC format as well. ![]() A little bit about Train Video DepotOur business philosophy on our website and on E-Bay is to provide excellent customer service to our customers. Really! We go out of our way to make sure you receive your purchase as quickly as possible. If there are any problems or you have any questions, we'll make sure they're addressed quickly. ShippingWe have built this business on getting orders out the SAME DAY whenever possible. Just take a look at our feedback comments and you'll surely notice that delivery speed is one thing that keeps showing up in the comments. Also, as an E-Bay shopper ourselves, we have found that many sellers super-inflate the shipping costs. We don't feel a company should profit from the shipping charges. We set very fair shipping charges to the US, Canada and International countries. For US shipments we use USPS First Class mail which is usually 1-3 days (Monday-Saturday) MAX. If you order 3 or more, that method is often bumped to Priority service which in some cases will shorten delivery time by a day. International Shipments are sent USPS Global Air and can take anywhere from 4 days to 12 days ON AVERAGE. Feedback CommentsOutstanding! - packing , speed, description, eMails.
