N&W 611 ventured out of the Virginia Museum of Transportation for the first time in years to help Norfolk Southern celebrate the 125th anniversary of Roanoke's East End Shops back in September 2007. The event included N&W 611 and 1218, NKP 763, and two N&W Alco diesels on exhibit for employees and families, as well as lots of other entertainment. The following day, 611 was still posed on the turntable.
