eddeere Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 A few years ago I rode on a short trip in a series of cars pulled by the 611 . It was amazing the power it had would pull you back in your seat on start up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHfred Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I rode the J611 here in VA a few years ago. I forget where we went but it was pricey and I remember being in Manassas, VA. I found a picture and it says 2016. I think we rode to Front Royal and then returned to Manassas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I just happen to watch a show on PBS last night about train excursions and that was one of the places they talked about.

It is a nice museum with some neat old things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 My Father was a big railfan. He talked about riding Amtrak out west and going to D&RG and others. We never got to take that trip.
