Wait. 611 has the air pump sheild off.
That is a steam locomotive's equivalent of a bra.
611 is flashing 6900
And that kids is how Norfolk Southern was made!

These two remind us that even with Jim Crow there were some things about the South worth keeping around for future generations

Most likely the E8. 611 was built in 1950, I imagine 6900 was built not long after.Β

1951; it's strange to think these two engines were built just a year apart.
