Description
SAS=Streamliners at Spencer611 sits on a siding, quite literally "reflecting" on her past, with restoration set to begin after the end of the event.

She just had a test fire today, and it's been all over Facebook! One step closer to rocketing down the main lines of NS once more. Break-in runs are sure to follow.

What a beauty! What is it, a Pacific? Looks like it was made sometime around the 1930s, right?

4-8-4 Class J built May 1950, Roanoke, Virginia.

Wow, a lot newer than I thought. So I guess it is not a steam engine, but a diesel or diesel-electric?

No, she is a steamer. The 4-8-4 refers to the locomotive's wheel arrangement: a four-wheeled pilot truck, eight drive wheels, and a four-wheeled trailing truck.

Very interesting. For some reason I was in the idea that they had stopped making steam engines in the 1940s. In any case, she's a stunner!

Thank you! She is a beauty for sure. Will look even better once it's operational.
