N&W Class J #611 pulls into Bristol, VA with the Tennessean on the starry night of May 1st, 2021. Meanwhile on the adjacent track the engineer of Southern FP7A #6133 climbs aboard ready to haul his awaiting mail train south. One of twenty locomotives ordered by the Southern, the FP7 design was strong enough to pull freight trains, but it was also equipped with a steam generator to heat passenger cars in the Winter. A utilitarian locomotive!
