The big spectacle of the Manassas trips was the Linden grade, where 611 was on its hands and knees crawling up the hill - almost stalling when the rails were wet on Sunday trips! Here, on June 4th N&W 611 is roaring up the grade, emitting a plume of smoke that could be seen for miles, right in the backyards and front yards of some houses in one of the little quaint towns along the B-Line.
