N&W J 611 thru Marshall, VA
Title:  N&W J 611 thru Marshall, VA
Description:  Roads going along the tracks were challenging to keep up due to traffic and speed lmits as the 611 was making great time. We made it to Marshall, VA and had just enough time to take up position with the rest of the crowd under the careful watch of NS Police before she thundered past. From what we could gather it sounds like this spot had been a problem with people getting too close to (or on) the tracks last year.

N&W J 611 Returning to Manassas
Title:  N&W J 611 Returning to Manassas
Description:  At the end of the excursion, 611 coasted slowly past the spot where RT-28 used to cross the tracks. A few feet of the road remains next to the tracks and the shade of the overpass made it a pleasent place to wait for 611 to wrap up its trip pulling into Manassas.

Description:  Its the 1950s and the Powhatan Arrow with the 611 in charge pulls up to the station at Barber. They are getting ready to let passengers off and let some get on. But as it turns out this is 2016 with just a black and white filter applied. The 611 was the power for the NCTMs passenger train today 7-30-2016. I had always wanted a shot of it by the station. Thanks to all the guys at NCTM for making it possible.

Description:  The 611 was pulling up the grade at the NCTM and it was sure putting on a show for everyone. This year has been a fun year with this locomotive. Got to see it go to Asheville for my first time and see it pull the museum trains. Thanks to everyone at the NCTM, NS and VMT.
