Norfolk Southern donates $1.5 million for 611 steam engine

[Brakie]

765 has run NS excursions for two years now, but public and employee-only, and it will have another full schedule of runs in 2014 as well. 611 and 4501 are coming back specifically to be part of the NS steam program.

I don't think I will hold my breath on NS running many excursions beyond 2014..I just don't see the return of NS steam excursions.

Still 765 is a one time deal with limited runs..We know 765 went to Cuyahoga Valley and stayed there for 2 weeks of weekend running and AFAIK hasn't turn a wheel on the main line since its return trip to Ft.Wayne.
