Thanks,  I knew the consist was large and the 4501 not necessarily built to pull that kind of load.

She was helping things along. The rolling terrain was a bit much for 4501 with that many cars. I was in car 3 and could hear the engineer work 4501 as much as he could before the train would begin to slow and he would use 3170 to help. I heard 4501 working more than the diesel though. I was not disappointed by it being there.

Is the Southern 3170 along for the ride, or helping things along?

Norris,  Yes, for the reasons you state plus today's trip was an 
added-on one so awareness might not have been as hoped for even though 
the Bristol Herald Courier gave it front page coverage yesterday with a 
very large photo of 4501 arriving on Wed. Tomorrow's route up to Bulls 
Gap appeals more to the Southern Ry fans. Sunday back to Radford.
Attached is another, tighter shot of the departure this morning.

Greetings Mike, I would suspect that there's 
several reasons for the empty seats. One, A Friday excursion is not 
going to be as full as a weekend one due to riders/parents working their
 normal jobs. Two, Offering three trips in the same location. Three, 
Passengers have to be selective on which trips to sign up for due to 
overall expenses. As the old saying goes, "Money don't grow on trees 
folks!". Stay the course, the NS 2015 Steam Excursion Program will be successful! Enjoy every minute of it, Norris Deyerle Lynchburg, Va.

Sad to note that there were numerous empty seats in this morning's 
excursion to Radford. My excuse? Wife not up to it at her age.
