Hot Water,
Good point. Now that you mention it, I recall hearing something like this before. I seem to also recall that the 611 was tough on yard trackage and switches and other tight places. It amazes me that Strasburg can handle it, but other than a couple of switches there are few obstacles on their mostly straight railroad.
Oh well. It is good to hear that is visiting the area again. My family and I had our fun years ago riding behind it and enjoying "run-bys" years ago between Richmond and Balcony Falls.
