The N&W J class were a wonderful class of 4-8-4 type locomotives with an impressive paint scheme and streamlined body casing, I am very satisfied that engine 611 still exists and operates today in excursion service.

The Js Were The Most Colorful And Most Powerful 4-8-4 Northerns Ever Built And Required Very Minimum Service

I thought the Southern Pacific Daylights were the most colourful 4-8-4s ever built.

Love the history. Landscape was relatively untouched before the 60s. Always wondered if the City of New Orleans was based on fact. Very interesting content. One question what was the bar called that connected the wheels and seemed to pull the train?

A few locations are identified in the pre-1987 footage. I wonder where the other locations are, I would love to see what they look like today.

There’s not much on the Peavine anymore. The tracks are there but closed from Jaybird lane to Portsmouth. The Vera Bridge has been closed for 20 years or so

It always amazes me to see the extent of the rail system in earlier days, as well as the excellence of the plant. This reflected the immense human toil expanded to achieve a level of service that is unthinkable today. How much have we lost! 2024/02/22. Ontario, Canada.

The J is a nice locomotive but personally I lean more towards the class A they had more tractive effort and were used as both fast freight and passenger and were the bread and butter engines of the N&W

@BigAmp 9 күн бұрын

Understandable but those Js could go really fast, were so reliable and maintainable and for my money the best looking ever (and I'm not from the US so no nationalistic bias).

One must remember the J class of locomotives were the last mainline engines built so they had advancements other engines didn't have but to really dig into step grades 611 and her sister engine's didn't have Braun of the articulated engine's my favorite being the class A

(3:03) That little dog running along the railing there must have been really happy to see that "J", we can certainly share his or her excitement too!!! Not sure if this little fellow was showing the "J" into town or showing it the way outta town??? Kinda cute anyway...
