Don't know how many original music videos get made about steam locomotives these days, but NS has just released the official version of "Rollin' Out Again" on its website:

This version has some cool overhead footage that was not part of the bootleg version that has been on YouTube for the past couple of months.

The song was composed especially for the 21st Century Steam program, was recorded by Norfolk Southern's in-house band, the "Norfolk Souther Lawmen", and much of the video was shot in and around TVRM this past spring right after 630 emerged from its long slumber.

As part of TVRM's Railfest (Labor Day weekend), the "Lawmen" will perform twice on Monday, September 5 at the performance stage on the grounds of TVRM's Grand Junction depot. They will perform a number of train songs, including "Rollin' Out Again" The "Lawmen" are an historic group in their own right and I never tire of being entertained by them. Don't miss them if you plan to come out for Railfest.
