NWR J-611 Arrives in Manassas by rlkitterman on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

As I am out of the country and currently unable to see Norfolk and Western Railway (N&W) J-611 Spirit of Roanoke back in action, I asked my parents to try to catch it for me. As luck would have it, the streamlined 4-8-4 visited Manassas, Virginia, which is not too far from our hometown of Springfield, and my parents caught it projecting a tall cloud of black smoke as it arrived at the station with its excursion train.
