The Queen of Steam is returning to the Star City. The Virginia Museum of Transportation announced the return of the Norfolk and Western J-Class 611 train to Roanoke at the beginning of June. The Virginia Museum of Transportation says discussions are ongoing to bring 611 steam excursions back to Virginia. It brings back so many memories for them and their ties to the railroad, especially the 611 for that reason. The steam locomotive will be departing from Ronks, Pennsylvania, and was recently on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
