We're chasing N&W 611 around Virginia as it runs trips out Roanoke to Lynchburg and Walton over the very hills it was built to conquer on Ex-Norfolk & Western Trackage.

The video runs from May 27-29, 2017.  Memorial Day was also the engine's 67th birthday, as it rolled out of the N&W's East End Shops in Roanoke brand new on May 29, 1950.

Sit back and enjoy some sights and sounds of the J working hard on mountain grades, and gently drifting downhill.
