Here's a picture from the Roanoke Rail Cam of 611 being moved to the Roanoke station for National Train Day.

Sad, really, sad. I have 6,000 feet, 16mm Kodachrome of 611 and 1218. I guess I better dig them out and show them again... with a few beers.

The fact NS has now moved the 611 for a few displays is a good thing...

Before you crack open a cold one, how about digitizing those 16mm films and posting them here?? If you do, I'll buy you a few beers!!

Was she "leading" the move or being pulled?

Exactly! Proof there is always such possibilities.

Whether she steams back anytime soon may be answered
tomorrow...

Well... y'never know! Steve Sandberg is due to make a
"major announcement" tomor.. er, later today and there
was that rumor regarding his conversation with NS.

On the other hand, news just got out that Steve and
the Friends are now the proud owners of MILW #261!

So, can you cross both fingers on both hands?

I'll tie my whole body in a knot if it will bring better luck...

People may be skeptical, but without hope there is no chance.

Man, I miss that engine. That's THE steam engine that got me interested when I was a kid, as my Dad and I would chase it from Chicago-Ft. Wayne every year. Good to see its still in decent shape.
