Remarks & Notes

Viewed from the Virginia Blue Ridge right-of-way, my favorite Norfolk & Western fan tripper backs across the trestle over the Tye River in Tye River, Virginia. The train has discharged any passengers who want a photo, and I have a trainload of company to witness a run-by.

When Norfolk & Western merged with the Southern Railway, two of its locomotives, #611 and #1218, were fired up and used on excursions.
