Will n&w 611 ever run again

[RAM]

What I said was "The U.P. does run fan trips under steam" which is true.  I did not say that all trip were fan trips.  Most are not.

err.... thanks? i was agreeing for the same thing as Ram. Of course they dont run every steam trip for railfanners. They usually chase the engine so i just see the gas stations gaining money. There loco so they can do what they want.

For you information, there are several FEF units still around and 1 extra challenger. If spare parts are a problem, there are some available. The J and the A are all by themselves. They break, that's it. no replacement parts. If 844 breaks, get parts from 838.

Right now the 611 is on static display in Roanoke, Va transportation museum. Right next to the 1218, when I was there in July 2008
