N&W 611 at Roanoke and Spencer

Follow the above link to my images of N&W 611; a combination of the FireUp611 event at Spencer and the 4th of July weekend runs out of Roanoke.

Looking back now, it was so much more than a chance to take pictures of trains, rather a gathering of friends old and new with a historic locomotive at the apex - these photographs are reminders of those great times.

Enjoy,
Matthew

GREAT, JUST GREAT

NOT ONLY 611 BUT AN ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT THE HOBBY IS ALL ABOUT

I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUOGH FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF SEEING THESE PHOTOS

Great pictures! It took me a few seconds to figure out the ghostly double exposure one, but I found it haunting.

Nice stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Matt,

Nice , very nice…interresting composition with some of those, so now I got some new idea’s! Thanks.

O. Winston Link set the bar high, but you just jumped over it, Matt!

Fabulous shots, thanks for posting!

Wow! Those are excellent photos. Thanks for the link.

The last time I saw a Class J was in 1956 when it was in revenue service & I was riding the Powhatan Arrow with my dad, who worked for the N&W for 41 years (& got free ride privileges). I’ve not been able to catch a view of it during the two re-construction phases. So good to see these excellent photos.

Hasn’t anyone else looked at these photos? If you haven’t, you don’t know what you’re missing!
