Reply to "611 Ferry run car arrangement?"

I believe the gons are the cars that carried extra coal for the 611 on it's trip from N. Carolina to Stassburg.  The baggage car is 611's tool car which also carried extra parts.   The 611 originally  arrived at Strassburg nose first with the baggage car and gons in tow behind the 611 locomotive.  As there is no turntable or Y to turn the locomotive at Strassburg the 611 must  run backward ( to her next destination or until she can be trurned forward ... if at all ) with the same order of cars in the consist as which she arrived and the NS diesel leading the consist with 611 trailing in reverse.
