Steam Returning At Roanoke Rail Fest!

Train Tuesdays

Roanoke, Virginia–the last bastion of mainline steam in the United States–will have steam excursions again this weekend as part of Roanoke Rail Fest!

Mike Allen reports of The Roanoke Times:

Roanoke Rail Fest will kick-off the Museum’s year-long 50th Anniversary celebration by transporting rail fans to the Golden Age of Steam when locomotives ran under steam power. The New Hope Valley #17, coming to Roanoke from the North Carolina Railway Museum, will be powering the ever-so-popular train rides the Museum offers during special events.
