Editor, The Herald:

We were among the lucky ones who rode the 611 train from Lynchburg to Petersburg and back on Saturday, June 13. What a great day it was.

They experienced some minor problems, but all in all it was fantastic! Our son works for Norfolk Southern and got us the tickets. We took our 4-year-old grandson, and he was so excited by it, as were we. What a GREAT experience. We took several pictures as well as some video.

Thanks for posting your article (“The Tracks Of Time: Living History On The Rails,” Friday, June 19).
