Awesome!  A nine-month rehabilitation plan means that it's feasible that 611 could be running in 2014.  I was lucky enough to chase this J in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1994 before she was mothballed.  I look forward to seeing her run again.

I was riding one of those trains.  That was my dad's fifth birthday present to me.

If you want it to happen... this is the page to go to:

This will happen... but to make it happen we need funding first.

Riding in the early 80s in Ohio on excursions
It's my 3rd favorite steam engine, behind the NKP 765 and SP 4494.
