Virginia Mechanical Preservation Society is proud to welcome the return of N&W J Class Engine 611 to Victoria Station for the Autumn 2025 season of scenic steam rail tours! Virginia Mechanical Preservation Society’s Victoria Station in Goshen will host the iconic “Queen of Steam” for Virginia Scenic Railway’s Shenandoah Limited Excursions.

Starting on September 26, 2025 the Virginia Scenic Railway will operate the steam-led passenger excursions as the Shenandoah Valley Limited for five consecutive weekends. Tickets are expected to be available for purchase later this summer through Virginia Scenic Railway’s website.

Due to the large number of carriages anticipated to run in this consist, train rides will begin and end at the custom-built Victoria Station in Goshen, Virginia. Once aboard the train, guests will steam through the rolling hills, forests and fields of the legendary Shenandoah Valley before the round-trip excursion returns to Goshen.
