At least it isn’t sitting cold this time during an excursion ban by Amtrak. NS would probably allow excursions if Amtrak would host and insure them, so the real reason that there are no longer any mainline excursions with 611 is Richard Anderson. Anderson feels excursions and charters are a distraction to Amtrak’s mission of serving the traveling public. I saw an Amtrak go by at Leaman Place during my 611 ride. I was in an open air car but not the end car because it filled up.
