[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 846519, member: 10543"] In April 1989 I caught N&W 611 at Attalla, AL on her way from Birmingham to Chattanooga. Back then, Norfolk Southern ran a heavy schedule of systemwide steam trips from spring through the fall every year for many years. As the decades passed, insurance costs began to rise, eventually reaching unaffordable levels and NS exited their steam program in its entirety. The 611 and stablemate 1218 were put on display in Roanoke, VA until some years back, special runs were established on shortlines and regional railroads in the east.
