Eastern Railroad Discussion > 611 today Greensboro, NC to Roanoke (well, to Hurt, VA)Date: 04/24/16 14:28 611 today Greensboro, NC to Roanoke (well, to Hurt, VA) Author: SOU3921 Caught 611 running north toward Roanoke today. Gave up the chase at Hurt once they made a left off the Southern Main to the old Virginian.
1 shot Rudd, NC, just north of Greensboro at first light. 2 shot just north of Reidsville, NC, under the old Southern signal bridge being replaced. 3 Whittle VA after meeting 213 Cooper    Date: 04/24/16 14:41 Re: 611 today Greensboro, NC to Roanoke (well, to Hurt, VA) Author: SOU3921 At Hurt making a left turn down the connection track and one more for good measure as it drifts downgrade.
Video at Rudd, NC. Lots of grade crossings and smoke in the cool morning air.   You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today! Date: 04/24/16 14:53 Re: 611 today Greensboro, NC to Roanoke (well, to Hurt, VA) Author: EH49 It would be nice if every car matched.

Besides, some of us like a rainbow train where most of the passenger cars are painted the colors appropriate to the car's heritage.

I noted more people at Brown' Summit today then when we passed it yesterday. Hurt had less people as well as CP Swann at Pelham, the station at Chatham was also less occupied.

Ex-Southern main line, 611 handling a 20-car train on its own, good light. Love this. Thanks for posting it.
