Speed Graphic Film and Video | 611 Then and Now: 1983, 1993 and 2016 @SpeedGraphicFilmVideo | Uploaded May 2016 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
I've traveled to Virginia three times--1983, 1993 and now 2016--to see N&W 4-8-4 No. 611 run. In this video, I bring together some shots taken at the same locations in different years. 611 may be ageless, but the locations themselves have in many cases changed.
This video also highlights the progress in home video technology--Super 8mm film, analog Hi8 video, digital HD video--over the years.
