- **Event Description**: STAUNTON ROUTE: Operating between June 12 – 21, 2026

Departing from historic Staunton, the N&W 611 thunders east toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. This route offers a dramatic transition from the rolling fields of the Shenandoah Valley to the measured ascent of the foothills. You’ll experience the thrill of roaring through the Blue Ridge Tunnel—a nearly one-mile-long passage carved deep through the mountain. Then the train navigates through tight rock cuts and emerges to stunning views overlooking the Piedmont region before returning for a second pass over Afton Mountain.

• Distance: Approximately 40 miles round-trip.
• Power: 611 leads the way east; a vintage diesel engine assists on the return leg while the 611 remains hot and under steam for the entire journey.
• Time: Approximately 90 minutes, round-trip.
