In case you guys didn't hear there is a fundraiser underway to restore the N&W 611 back to full operational condition. They are looking to raise $3.5 million to restore the engine and build a proper maintenance facility to store and work in it. They are looking for another $1.5 mill to ensure it has funds to maintain operations for the foreseeable future. http://fireup611.org/the-611/ I think the key part of this is Norfolk Southern is trying to ramp up it's PR program (like all the other railroads) and has given the clearance for it to run on their rails again. So with this major backing, there should be no doubt that we should see this running in the near future. The time is now to donate! We need to see this engine back in operation!! Raymond

Hot off the press... the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, MO has just announced that the N&W 2156 will be leaving and headed to Roanoke for 4months to 5 years. Where that engine currently is located will take some effort to get out and that is no short haul. This has to be for evaluation for eventual restoration. Perhaps there are other possible reasons but it's hard to see why else they would go through this much effort to relocate it. This could be outstanding news! I guess Norfolk Southern won't be outdone with a 4000 running the rails in the west. Pray that we see the 2156 restored to operation. Here is some Y6 action at it's finest: -
