A foreign memory
On this particular outing, the 611's afternoon trips over the Christiansburg district were the primary target. As always when the steam trains ran the main, normal traffic was also included in the mix. Seen here is a westbound train grinding up the mountain, with a shiny red Canadian Pacific leader. Foreign power leading trains has become far less common with the advent of PTC, and in retrospect, this was a REALLY good catch for us.
