N&W J-Class 611 Streamlined Steam Locomotive in Action 1994!
In 1994, restored Norfolk & Western J-class steam locomotive, number 611, led three excursion passenger trains through the southeastern United States. A 4-8-4 Northern-type, number 611 powered the “Autumn Leaves Special,” “Asheville Special,” and the “Carolina Special.” It was built in May 1950, retired in October 1959 from regular service, and then restored in 1982. Home for number 611 was the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke.

And she's recently been resurrected. Now, the 611 flies the rails once again.

I dunno if I would say that the spot where you caught the 611 passing under US 70 is in Glen Alpine. I’d say more in the grey area where Morganton and Glen Alpine kinda blend together. Other then that negligibly minor gripe, this is a rather enjoyable video.

611 is the most beautiful streamlined steam locomotive in the whole world. She had been on display in Roanoke for years, until in February 2013, the VMT formed a campaign called Fire Up 611! to return No. 611 to operating condition once again for excursion service in May 2015.

FEW LOCOMOTIVES EVER HAD A STEAMBOAT WHISTLE. MoPac kind of started it I think and then RI ran with it. N&W wanted to ass a touch of class to their everyday workhorses lugging passenger trains up mountain sides at fast but not stellar speeds. SO they opted to add the steamboat whistles to this class and its maybe the most haunting of any steam whistle ever designed.

Hey, Walt Loevy, guess what? My family and I went to the Strasburg Railroad. It was a side trip of my family vacation. And you won't believe what I saw. Norfolk and Western
