N&W Blue Ridge
May 7, 2016 was a cool and cloudy morning in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, which led to the best mainline photo I ever took of 611. A select few of us hiked into CP Blue Ridge, and got a spectacular show as the crew worked the heavy train up the mountain with expertise. This shot is mostly as it would have been in May 1950 when the 611 was released from the shops in Roanoke. N&W CPL's, mainline steam, and towering mountains made for a show I will never forget.
