One of the last Norfolk Southern Steam Excursions
From Wikipedia
Norfolk and Western 611 is a 4-8-4 steam locomotive built by the Norfolk and Western Railway's East End Shops in Roanoke, Virginia, in May 1950 for the Norfolk and Western Railway. 611 is one of a class of 14 "J"s built by the Roanoke shops. The first batch, numbered 600 to 604, were built in 1941-42 and were delivered streamlined. In 1943, 605-610 were delivered without shrouding and lightweight side rods, due to the limitations on the use of certain materials during the war; due to these distinctions, they were classified "J-1". But, when N&W showed the War Production Board the reduced availability numbers because of this, the Board allowed the J-1s to be re-fitted as Js with the lightweight rods and shrouding in 1944. The last batch, 611-613, were built in 1950, all streamlined. The Js were built and designed completely by N&W employees, something that was uncommon on American railroads. The total cost for building 611 was $251,544 in 1950; now it would likely be over $2 million.[citation needed] For comparison, the '60163 Tornado project', a charity in Britain that built an A1 Peppercorn steam locomotive from scratch had spent around £4 million ($8 million) by the time 'Tornado' was finished in mid-2008.
