This video was produced before the era of 611's Saluda excursions and covers the super steep 5% Saluda Hill in great depth. Norfolk Southern (after Southern Railway) uses the best equipment to haul freights up and down this incredible incline.
With a history of runaways, triple headed steam power, cutting edge dynamic brake technology, a downhill timing zone, freights that triple the hill, and two runaway safety tracks, Saluda is an active legend with another runaway only a heartbeat away.
Don’t miss this Incredible all around railroad video for the era’s technology of super steep mountain train handling, background information for legendary 611 assaults, and tons of high horsepower railfan action.
