a steam engine is like a human, they "drink" water, they burn fuel, we eat, and inhale and exhale, good enough for me.
-
That is quite easily the most beautiful whistle I have ever heard.

What a lady, sit gracefully by while the flashy newcomers barrel along awkwardly.
-
A very sad time when NS ended the steam program. I got to see her many times and can tell you that is an extremely powerful engine, with great lines and a whistle that just ooozes power and authority. Someday we will get back our "J".

@Fischer0Dude She and 1218 are on display in the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, VA, their hometown.

What a beast of a Locomotive! Does any one know where she lives? I would like to see her, even if it is just in a shed. If the Local museum ever gets their rear in gear and start restoring our 2-6-0 I will quit my Job to remake a new boiler. Just so I can see the old girl move on her own again......and not being towed by a dozer..... P.S You should edit out that racket that the diesel makes.

I have an old electric model of this exact engine. And still works just fine. I also have a few passenger cars, that also match with it.

Imagine if you heard that and there was no train...............O.o

@LMatters1 you're whistling Dixie...

God bless the lady J.
Thanks for posting and by the way, do you know who the people were yelling at to, "Get-outta-the-way"?

They were yelling at anyone who walked near the 611 as the freight approached, as they were trying to shoot a people-free photo of the two trains..
