isn't that thing pretty much marooned at Strasburg?

It goes back and forth between Strasburg and Virginia Railroad Museum after it gets permission from AMTRAK. It's currently stuck as Strasburg for at least another week before going home

Pretty much, yeah. If they move it back to Roanoke, it's just going to be landlocked again with nowhere to run, and it's a real bitch to get it in and out of Roanoke at all. So, until they find somewhere else to run it (which I understand they ARE working on) it stays at Strasburg where it can at least run a 9 mile round trip now and then, even if that 9 mile trip is at barely a quarter of the speed 611 is capable of achieving.

Per a railfan I overheard on my 2019 photo charter there, it's like giving the Strasburg crews a Ferrari to play with, and telling them they have to keep it in 1st gear.
