eddeere Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 A few years ago I rode on a short trip in a series of cars pulled by the 611 . It was amazing the power it had would pull you back in your seat on start up .

MHfred Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I rode the J611 here in VA a few years ago. I forget where we went but it was pricey and I remember being in Manassas, VA. I found a picture and it says 2016. I think we rode to Front Royal and then returned to Manassas.

Freightrain Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I just happen to watch a show on PBS last night about train excursions and that was one of the places they talked about.

It is a nice museum with some neat old things. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58546-strasburg-railroad/#findComment-430203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 My Father was a big railfan. He talked about riding Amtrak out west and going to D&RG and others. We never got to take that trip.
