Virginia is for Scenic Railway Lovers!

You’ll hear her before you see her. The whistle. The thunder of steel. The buzz in the air.

Get ready. The legendary Norfolk and Western No. 611 returns to service in the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains this weekend.

Virginia, don’t miss out on this chance to see history in motion! (See link in bio for schedule, tickets, and information.)

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY: this iconic locomotive will be on view and under steam during a free public display tomorrow, June 11th from 12-2pm, in historic Staunton, Va. The public is invited to meet members of the Virginia Museum of Transportation’s steam operations crew and learn what it takes to maintain and operate a mainline steam locomotive. Take photos, get tickets, and marvel at this mechanical giant, a living part of American railroad history. 🇺🇸
