I am slowly starting to process a huge amount of pictures from the past couple of weeks, from the 630 trips out of Roanoke and the Heritage party in Spencer. It was a long week, that kept us on the road, and lots of fun.
Here are a few of my favorites from the steam trips out of Roanoke on June 30th and July 1st. Follow the link to Pbase if you would like to see the full size versions of these (Much larger versions!)

This was my first view of 630 this year, charging up Christiansburg mountain at Wabun Virginia.

After turning on the wye at Walton, 630 heads back West, seen here accelerating under the N&W coaling tower at Vicker.

And the last time we saw her, on Sunday 07/01 just after she had been taken off the train due to a hot bearing. It was a sad sight to see the diesels take the train away from this location.
