IN MAY 2016, THE NEWLY MADE OVER 611 STEAM TRAIN CAME THROUGH LYNCHBURG FOR A VISIT! I REMEMBER MY DAD AND I USED TO WALK DOWN TO THE KEMPER STREET STATION IN THE EARLY 60’S AND WATCH THE TRAIN COME IN! THESE ARE FOND MEMORIES FOR ME TO REMEMBER THE LOUD “CHUG-CHUG” OF THE STEAM ENGINE AGAIN! HERE ARE A FEW SHOTS I TOOK OF THE TRAIN COMING IN FROM ROANOKE, TURNING AROUND AT THE WOODALL RD. STATION IN LYNCHBURG, AND RETURNING!

APRIL 2017, THE 611 PULLED INTO THE KEMPER STREET STATION TO A CROWD OF HUNDREDS! BELOW ARE A FEW SHOTS, INCLUDING THE HASKINS MEMORIAL PARK! THE ABOVE SHOTS OF THE 611 WERE TAKEN LEANING OVER THE 5TH STREET BRIDGE!
