N&W 611 wakes up and stretches her legs for 2016:
She is pretty.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.

ReplyDeletepulling a train of 8 light cars....while the diesel pulls a hundred or more of really heavy freight. And where do they water the monsters?
ReplyDeleteLove steam though........
No caboose to complete the picture?
ReplyDeleteStwart, 611's a passenger loco, not a freight dog. The string of cars may have been to even out braking. And there is a second water tender behind the main one.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to live in Salisbury, NC; Spencer, NC is right next door, and is home to the North Carolina Transportation Museum.. The NCTM is actually the old Southern Railroad Spencer Shops main repair facility between DC and Atlanta. And it's become a major center for the restoration of old railroad locomotives and cars for other Museums.
ReplyDeleteN&W #611 was restored here and will be back this summer.. "Texas", a Civil War era locomotive is currently being restored. It's best known for chasing and catching raiders that captured the locomotive "General" in the "Great Locomotive Chase of 1862..
