    The 611 is a streamliner type that has very clean and pleasing lines and curves. Built in 1950 at the very end of the steam era and destined to a short operating lifetime. Glad to see her back in operation if only in commemorative runs. Also, a fitting tribute to a well loved railfan -- all-aboard Dave!

      611 sure had some wheel slip coming into Paradise. Wonder if it was just the wet rails?

    This Locomotive, is 1 of only 14 built, and is the only survivor. Built in 1950 at the Roanoke shops, in service til 1959, the Spirit of Roanoke is a true survivor, and a piece of history. What an awesome sight!!

    Dave was such a kind person. He loved the Strasburg railroad. And ever since he left the cam people have felt bad. I’m one of them. And I’m my opinion we should make a bench at Strasburg for Dave. Comment for more info.
