I actually saw Southern Railway 630 at the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, North Carolina on April 13, 2013. I didn't know as a kid that mom knew there was a steam locomotive at a special event on that day; that was very rare.
On that day, I brought a friend a few years older than me to the NCTM to see and ride this special train. If I remember, the whistle that 630 worn at the Museum, was this whistle from 0:26 to 0:43.
Southern Railway 630 was the largest ALCO-Richmond built locomotive I've ever seen in person, from what I remember; 630 was also the last real steam locomotive I've ever ride behind before I ride and saw the Pere Marquette #1225 in Owosso, Michigan on December 2, 2017 at night. I hope you loved reviewing this!
The reason why I put the word re-uploaded in parentheses is because, this was actually the second video of the original first one published. I deleted it because in the beginning text, I spelled "Trrainz" instead of "Trainz" by accident.
If there are questions you want to ask that's not shown, ask me in the comments below. I know a lot of railroads, even at a teenage age.
