A small coal fire smolders deep within the core of N&W 611 in the dead of the night as a day of moving cars to Roanoke approaches in the very near morning.
The one thing I have always found interesting about 611 is that bullet shaped looking nose. NW 611 has just completed one of the museum train runs last Saturday 9-10-2016.
What looks like sometime in the 1950s, is actually in 2016. The Southern Railway 6900 stares down the Class J number 611 as she gets put away to her usual spot at the NCTM grounds.
N&W 611 takes during a brief pause between museum train runs. The small American flags are a nice touch as the world remembers the terrible morning of September 11, 2001 some 15 years ago.
