Uploaded by LionelKid18 on Nov 6, 2010
Train 42 'The Pelican' "A Southern Railway Train" headed by Norfolk and Western 4-8-4 Class J 603 arrives at Rural Retreat, VA eastbound from New Orleans to Washington DC shortly before 11pm Christmas Eve 1957, and thunders off into the cold dark night. The Norfolk & Western Railway's own Class J was perhaps the finest of all mainline express steam engines, and Number 603 is heard here in its last days of mainline service with a consist of 18 cars. Take a step back into time to Christmas Eve 1957 on the Norfolk and Western when steam was king and time was simple.

@Eddyisrich403 this is not just a photo. It's a sound recording by the late O. Winston Link and the photo goes with this recording.
