Steam & Excursion > 4th Weekend of 611 Trips Added for 2017 - Spencer NCDate: 01/04/17 09:51 4th Weekend of 611 Trips Added for 2017 - Spencer NC Author: bigjim4life http://www.nctrans.org/Events/611-Spring-Excursions.aspx
One all-day trip to Lynchburg, and then a pair of half-day trips, one to Charlotte, and the other to Greensboro - the Charlotte trip sounds very cool!

There are tons of rail enthusiasts who would dearly love to have a trip here in Maryland and this is doable. There is a Y at Perryville, Norfolk Southern has trackage rights on the Y even though part of it would be on Amtrak's N.E. Corridor for part of the turn-around. This trip with 611 or any other approved steam engine that Norfolk Southern would operate will completely sell out. Perryville is not that far Northeast of Baltimore and believe me, passengers will come from Baltimore, Wilmington, and Philadelphia and the surrounding areas for sure to ride this kind of trip.
