Reply to "611 Ferry run car arrangement?"

Robert KOGR Forum Member

So I guess the 611 can run excursions on non-NS lines that are owned by a tourist railroad or short line or regional freight railroad. And NS is still willing to transport the 611 over its tracks. Goshen isn't too far from Roanoke for people to ride behind the 611. It's a lot longer run than Strasburg or NCTM. The Manassas excursion I rode on June 4, 2016 was a 102 or so mile round trip which took four hours, it started at the Amtrak station but veered off onto a freight only line to Front Royal. That was my first time riding behind the 611 and seeing it in person, the second time was at Strasburg Sept 2019. I live about 60 miles from Strasburg, and 25 miles from Reading and Northern, and 15 or so miles east of the WK&S.
