I recall waiting for 611 to come through on several different occasions (NC/SC State line, Tryon, Saluda) and freight trains were getting delayed because of it. On it's last run down Saluda from Asheville, NC to Greenville, SC, a coal train coming down had to stop (longer, they stop anyway and farther west too) for 611 to move out of Saluda and safely down the grade. Railroads are in it for the business! Delayed shipping causes unhappy customers.
