One slight correction. Last year 611 ran 4 different weekends, and the trips out of Spencer to Greensboro and to Asheville did have ugly diesel helpers. Otherwise the other weekends were dismal-free and yes 611 put on a great show. Having seen it in the 80's and 90's I thought the performance and hard working was better in 2016.

As for 2017 expect diesels on the Spencer to Lynchburg trip, and the following day to Charlotte. Other trips should be dismal free. Our 611 videos from 2016 cover all the trips were 611 ran without diesels.
