611 was going really fast.

Dang, it's awesome to hear #611 whistle again. I really though I'd never hear it again.

There's ma baby girl! I knew she'd be back to steaming again!

Outstanding work! Great sound as well!

Marvelous to see 611 running again. What I was realy surprised about, is that 611 is not accompanied by a regular diesel engine as often to be seen on heritage steamer trips. though this engine is modern and reliable enough to run alone! Great!

Her whistle is glorious! No better way for the beautiful lady to announce her return!

Just got home from school, and I see THIS! I'm so happy that Ms. Roanoke herself has finally returned to the high iron!

Beautiful job catching the Queen of Steam at her best!

Kudos to NS for their steam program; I wonder how it's perceived by NS employees? Even for the most senior employees -mainline dieselization had occurred before they started. I would have to think they'd love getting a chance to work with steam - it's tradition and such a big part of railroading heritage.

This engine looks like she was just made way to go I would love to ride in one of the cars!!

Man, what a sight! Definitely a fist pump moment when that baby goes by. Worth the millions I bet it cost to get her going again!

Great catch she looks great a true classic

Wonderful to see her running again, thanks for a fine post. I can only hope on Sunday the 7th there are as few people in my frame as you had...although I doubt it
