Since September of 2019, Norfolk & Western 611 has run relatively frequently on the Strasburg Rail Road. From pulling regular excursions to in-cab experiences to photo charters, the 611 pretty much did it all when it came to operations along the Road to Paradise.

For almost 4 years, 611 was a major draw for tourists at the Strasburg Rail Road; however, it was time to move on. In the spring of 2023, the Strasburg Rail Road announced the final excursions with 611 would be held on the final two weekends of May.

With this knowledge in mind, it was time to return to the Strasburg Rail Road and see 611 once again after almost 3 and 4 years respectively. In addition to 611, the only other operational Norfolk & Western steam locomotive, 475, also operated, allowing for two N&W steam locomotives to run together one last time. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a Norfolk & Western Steam Finale on the Strasburg Rail Road.
