Class J No. 610 hauls a local freight between Norfolk and Petersburg near Disputanta, VA in December, 1958. The sleek beauties served in freight server over much of the system before Stauart Saunders declared "no more steam on my railroad!" (Harry Bundy) |

Timetable |
For Those who thought the N&W wasn't serious about using the J's in freight service, and that they were only running out hte last of the serviceable miles, note the entries from the employee timetable of 1958. This shows that, at least originally, their use as freight engines was important enought to include their tonnage ratings and weather restrictions in the timetables. They were also listed in the timetables for Roanoke to Crewe, and Roanoke to Petersburg. (N&WHS Archives Colleciton) |

Eastbound at New Bohemia, VA, the very first J, No. 600, is now hauling freight after racking up more than 2 million miles moving passengers. The date is August 29, 1958. For many, it was a sad sight; for the N&W, it meant find continued use for locomotives that were still in great operating condition. (Harry Bundy) |
