The Restored J Class Norfolk & Western #611 Steam Locomotive And Train

On March 31, 2015, the J Class #611 Steam Locomotive fired up for the first time since December 7, 1994 after a complete restoration. Built in 1950 in Norfolk & Western's East End Shops in Roanoke, it was the 12th of 14 J Class passenger steam locomotives. Today it is owned by the Virginia Museum Of Transportation located in Roanoke, Virginia and being used for special excursions and display. The photos in this gallery were shot on July 3,4,5, 2015 in Montgomery County, Virginia.
