    Vol. 18 July 2010 No. 7 Dale Diacont has the program for the July, 2010, meeting . In his own words: My presentation for the Blue Ridge Chapter, NRHS, at the July meeting is entitled "Winter along the Wasatch - 2010." Robert Kaplan and I flew to Salt Lake City on February 3, 2010, for the Nevada Northern winter charter that weekend. We spent the next six days on Soldier Summit, Salt Lake City, Echo Canyon and Ogden, UT. My presentation will reflect our time in a very frigid Utah along with some timetable excerpts and maps for the education of our members that may not be familiar with the territory. Believe me, it was my first trip to Utah as a destination and not an enroute location -- and it certainly was a learning experience!! There's lots of stuff to see and do out there in the shadows of the snow- covered Wasatch. Sincerely hope to see you there.

  • N&W Class J 611: the Spirit of Roanoke
    N&W Class J 611: The Spirit of Roanoke The “Queen of Steam” gets new bearings. First, background from the “Fireup611.org” and Wikipedia websites… No. 611 was one of fourteen Class ‘J’ passenger locomotives built for the Norfolk & Western Railway between 1941 and 1950 and the only one in existence today. The Norfolk and Western Railway's J class was a class of 4-8-4 streamlined steam locomotives built by the railway's own Roanoke Shops located in Roanoke, Virginia. The last units, 611-613, rolled out between May and July of 1950, marking them the last steam passenger locomotives built in the United States. The J class locomotives were used daily to pull such passenger trains as the Powhatan Arrow, the Pocahontas, and the Cavalier between Cincinnati, OH and Norfolk, VA. The J’s also pulled the Tennessean, the Pelican and the Birmingham Special between Monroe, Virginia, and Bristol, Tennessee. In the late 1950s, N&W began purchasing first generation diesel locomotives which proved to be cheaper in maintenance and fuel cost. In 1958 and 1959, the railroad ran several “Farewell To Steam” excursions with 611 pulling the last one in October 1959.
