The Norfolk and Western class J was one of the finest steam engines ever built, not only from a design standpoint, but from a mechanical standpoint as well. Volumes have be written about the Js, and in 1982, the only remaining class J was restored to operation by Norfolk Southern for their then thriving steam program. Painting a J is like depicting shear power, beauty and grace all in one painting. The 611 in her pure form helps me sum up all the reasons to paint all at once.
