I have no clue what the hell they did too her in Spencer last year. 611 looked good the last 2 years then she came out all funky this year.

Hope they will be able to do some restoration on that, this is the cool train you've photographed before that I like.

This is nice in B&W. The sky is great with the white clouds to do in B&W, sets off the train nicely.

611 is back at Spencer Shops for repairs, No idea if she will do excursions next year, nothing has been announced yet. It seem too be all on Amtrak for next year.

@vintagesnaps Thanks.

Hope it's nothing serious. I'm waiting for an update on UP 4014; can't wait 'til SHE hits the rails!

They say next year she will be out running on the Mainline and reach as far east as Nashville.

As a rear helper I think.
Don't see tons of BNSF.

Running long hood forward or helper service?

 

[davidharmier60]

Pretty sure by the dirtiness of it it is an end of train helper. Often they run can to the rear but it doesn't apparently have to be that way.
