N&W 611 at Paradise - 1

N&W 611 and equipment cars had just been dropped by the NS SD70ACe that towed it from Roanoke at the interchange track off the Amtrak Keystone Line at Leaman Place, Paradise PA. 611 is running under its own gumption toward the Strasburg shops about 4.5 miles up the line at Ronks. Not really my photo - I just screen captured it from the Paradise Live Cam on YouTube. I thought it newsworthy to post as 611 begins its summer residence at Strasburg. Many thanks to the excellent PTZ camera work by the cam operator! 611 will lead its first Strasburg excursion 11AM Saturday 5/29/21.

You are possibly the first Nerailer to do this. It is something I have often thought of doing, notably, the last time 611 was at Strasburg. What stopped me, was wondering how it would be received/perceived.
During the time of covid induced, reduced opportunities to get out and about, it presents a new range of possible photos to us all! From around the world!
I wonder what other Nerailers think?
If it became "a thing", might it necessitate a separate page on the website?
Cheers, Adria
