Steam engines riding the rails again

It was a scene from days past Saturday as a mighty steam engine pulled into Roanoke.   

The 630 was an impressive sight pulling into the Old N&W Depot on Shenandoah Avenue.

Norfolk Southern and its partners are hosting 21st Century Steam excursion trips in a number of states including North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

Saturday, the engine did two-roundtrips, one to Walton and another to Lynchburg.
