LOUISA ROUTE: Operating between June 26 – July 5, 2026
Departing from the recently renovated, historic Louisa train depot, the N&W 611 will make her way west across the historic Virginia Central Railroad. This route follows a storied path to the Gordonsville rail junction, an area rich with Civil War history and railroad lore. The course runs through rural landscapes filled with sprawling farms, pine forests, with views across fields of barns and houses. Listen for the whistle at every country road crossing, and watch the crowds gather to witness steam travel through Virginia’s historic railroad communities.
