Having been a great fan of the old 611 and having rode it many times, and loving the experience, as well as most of the rail related attractions from Maine to NC I hate to rain on our parade, but one of the previous posts hit the spike right on the head. <br /> <br /> It would be unlikely that any railroad would permit any vintage equipment like that to run their rails anymore because of the liability issue. I remember when the 611 wrecked down here in Chesapeake and the N&W owned the locomotive, the tracks, the cars and the court settlements. Soon after 611 ended up in a shed in Roanoke, probably forever. Plus these excursions can block revenue producing traffic as well....so no matter how these excursions run, they can cost the host railroad a lot of money with little in return....
