I have a question ? Is the vgn line. Well you know how by the link museum their is a wye track that mainline is that also the Virginian main line?

[@NSCSXRailfan]

NSNW11There is not a connection to the VGN by the museum. But there is a wye east of the Passenger Station (O. Winston Link Museum) that connects to the VN. Also, there is a connection to the VN west Shaffer's Crossing where the NW and VN can connect. :)

Do these trains still operate in 2021?

[@johnhull6363]

The engineer fired her perfect too...

[@NSCSXRailfan]

Yes he did!!!

[@MonValleyNathan]

This should visit the Pittsburgh Line

[@NSCSXRailfan]

Yep, it should go all over the country!

[@MonValleyNathan]

NS CSX Railfan If N&W 611 visits the Pittsburgh Line, he will visit places like Cresson, Horseshoe Curve, etc.
