Been watching N&W steam videos for years, how come this is the first time I've seen this one? I was born at Roanoke in '43 and spent my first 13 years in Radford. Was I blessed, or what? So, I was born a train nut. Dad would take me down to the tiny station in Radford on Saturday mornings and set me up on one of the REA wagons while he leaned up against it smoking his pipe. I was in N&W Heaven! We'd watch the Trains pass through, but there weren't nearly enough! The occasional Ys and As were enormous and terrifying to this little boy, but I had to be there as the platform trembled as they passed by. Once in a while a J would stop and dad would walk me down so I could talk to the engineer who were always so kind and friendly to me. When the Js would start out their acceleration was impressive. The times of my life.

This is one of the best videos of N&W steam in the 50s. No question. The sound with this is unreal. With a pair of headphones on, I feel as though I'm standing right on the ballast line. Taken back many decades in the past where railroading was done at a whole level above what it is today.

Mr. Peterson was a man way ahead of “the curve” on the sound recordings. I don’t know of another Steam video that compares with the synchronized sound of this one!!

The cars look so much better without the spray can vandalism.

I have a book somewhere that shows an absolutely bizarre image: A massive Y6a breezing along with a 6-7 car local freight. Unless it was a transfer move for the engine (to Roanoke for maintenance or perhaps a new duty station), it seems like a highly inefficient choice of motive power for an assignment like that. Normally the N&W's 4-8-0s among other smaller ones did that work.

A shame no K2As were preserved. The "baby Js" were such interesting engines, and IIRC the first O. Winston Link photographed.

Wow, what kind of unusual locomotive was at 18:56? It almost looked like a steam/diesel hybrid. Very cool.

That's the NW 2300, a prototype steam turbine engine that was retired in early 58 and scrapped two years later, shortly after this video was recorded. This is the only known footage I can find of the 2300 operating.
