There are some places where it could not run, even on mainline trackage. For example, it wasn't allowed on the NS line between Asheville, NC and Bulls Gap/Morristown, TN even though the 765 and even the T&P 610 operated on that line. 611 couldn't run on that line either. Like any engine, you'd have to do a clearance check before saying definitively whether it could run somewhere. The clearance points on steam engines aren't necessarily where you think they would be.
Thanks for when it last ran. Are those spots you say where it didn't run the mainline for NS? If it is, both Rich and Hot Water have answered those questions time and time again as 611 doesn't have the necessary safety features that 765 has(or paired with the diesel, forget exactly what Rich said).
