Throughout the month of October and into early November, the iconic “Queen of Steam” will begin her rule over the beautiful state of Virginia!


We’d spend two days documenting the world-famous J-Class locomotive as it tackled the steep grades of the Shenandoah Valley.


So sit back and enjoy this 30-minute special production; N&W 611 | Queen of the Shenandoah!


(big thanks to my friend ​⁠‪@SCL3618‬ for some of the B-Roll footage used. Go check out his channel if you haven’t!)
