The weekend of May 7th and 8th, 2016 brought mainline steam back to Roanoke featuring none other than N&W 611. In a partnership with Norfolk Southern, VMT ran four trips over the course of two days; two across the Blue Ridge grade to Lynchburg and two across Christiansburg Grade to Radford.
In this video, you'll see scenes from all four trips at well-known locations as well as a few lesser-known ones. 611 does her part providing an absolutely phenomenal show. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for posting this. I'm sure that I have never seen any better railway photography. What a wonderful job has been made on 611.

Wonderful video! Definitely got some chills hearing that wheel slip on Christiansburg grade.

Very enjoyable compilation!! Was only beside you in one spot, which shows the variety of places there were to see this! Very good work. The drone footage pacing is tops.

What if 611 can reunite with 765 for a doubleheader from Roanoke to Lynchburg and back in the future?

No matter how many times it's shown, and even though I understand it, it's still a befuddlement to me how steel wheels on steel rails can pull all that weight!

let me tell you this i'm pretty sure O.Winston Link hoped that 611 and 1218 would run again after the 1994 cancellations and even though he didn't live to see 611's second return in 2015 he got to see it and 1218 in there first excursion carriers as well as in revenue service in the 50's and i'm sure had he lived to see 611 come back i'm sure he would be very proud to the men and women who made it possible for her to return
