Sure wasn't expecting 8618 to help 611 prior to leaving strasburg. Nevertheless, it's good to know that after a 2 year stay at the road to paradise, 611 is finally going home after being away for nearly 4 years.
We actually went to go see Thomas on a flatbed and I walked over and was like wait... 611 is out! I couldn't believe we saw it haha. Thanks for watching!
I think they flipped it around at Enola yard last night. I saw it on a Greencastle cam and it is front facing. Strasburg doesn't have a turntable so I don't think they had a choice.

Home to Roanoke?
@@billwilson6670 yes
@@atsfevan0242 I hate that they let the engine's sit
They should do something with the train's there
It was an Honor Gaurd!!
Thanks bud for this great video. I hope 611 got to its destination safe and sound. Might be worth a trip to get it running in its hometown.
You're welcome! I would definitely make a trip to see 611 again! Hopefully one day she will come back to Strasburg though!
Awesome video!!! Definetly sad to see her go, but hopefully she returns again soon!
yea good catches and video of this visiter steamer leaving this railroad to proceed home
nice amtrak catches too meeting it
Thank you! I was glad 611 met with some Amtrak that day!
The Queen is finally returning home!
Norfolk and Western #611 is heading back home to Roanoke after being there since 2021. Dont worry, #611 will return to Strasburg someday.
Awesome you caught her one last time!!
Hopefully we will get the chance to see 611 again 🙂
Amazing Catch

It was a beautiful day to “chase” her!
She passed Hagerstown Md yesterday headed home!
Wow that's awesome! We're definitely going to miss 611. Hopefully she comes back to Strasburg one day!
Nice video
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Ok
611 should not be pulled backwards at all. They are insulting the Queen of steam.

NS drop the ball 611 should have let her be the lead.
