1218, Southern Style documents that 3 Excursions pulled by N&W 1218 in the fall of 1987. First, we see 1218 operating a trip from Ludlow, Kentucky to Danville, Kentucky over the weekend of September 12th & 13th of 1987. This is followed by 1218 running a trip from Ludlow, Kentucky to Chattanooga, Tennessee during the following weekend of September 20th & 21st of 1987. Finally, we see 1218 operating an excursion from Birmingham, Alabama to Chattanooga, Tennessee during the weekend of October 10th & 11th of 1987. Numerous run-by's and even pacing scenes are included with 1218 at speed past the changing colors of Autumn.

Ken Durham's shows are very well polished but very obscure these days. I'm hoping that through archiving his work that it can be viewed on a much larger scale & able to enjoyed once again. Its ashame Ken's work hasn't made it to DVD. I remember the inclusion of Footage from Ken's 152 shows in your video its restoration. Do you still have those around? I've been a longtime fan of your work since 2012/13.

@@NickelPlatedProductions I agree with you wholeheartedly and applaud you for archiving it on KZfaq for us to enjoy. Yes, I do have those programs on tape. Shoot me an email - I can provide you with digital copies for your archive.

This is the best video of 1218 on the internet I’ve seen thus far. That opening shot gave me chills, hearing that in and out of sync exhaust. I’m honored to have been able to see 1218 in person at the VMT. Hopefully one day in my lifetime, her firebox will see fire set to it once again.

What a majestic locomotive, they truly are an amazing sight, that whistle makes the hair on my arms stand up every time.

I still find it somewhat hard to believe that this locomotive was stronger than the Challenger 3985. What a majestic engine that 1218, and a beautiful hooter whistle to suit it.

If only 1218 could have tried Saluda grade like her sister 611.

I knew guys who went up to ride and chase this but I couldn't make it. But it came to Jacksonville that November and I got to ride behind 1218 then. Coming back from Valdosta that night, I felt like I was IN an O Winston Link photo!

I was on the Ludlow to Danville trip, I remember boarding at Ludlow although there are passengers already aboard. Did the train back on to the bridge out of the yard first? If so i don't remember that.
