Norfolk & Western 611: Racing Down the Piedmont (Lynchburg to Spencer 2017)

On April 8, 2016, 611 began its 2017 excursion season with a day-long trip on Norfolk Southern's Piedmont Division from the North Carolina Transportation Museum to Lynchburg & back. I arrived in Lynchburg shortly before departure and chased the train south all the way to Spencer. The 611 made good time on this run, and was well ahead of schedule when a defect detector forced them to stop near Thomasville, putting the train back into the museum about half an hour late.
