Steam Saturday: N&W 611 in Virginia

Here are a pair of images of Norfolk & Western 4-8-4 No. 611 made on Sept. 6, 1982, as the Class J locomotive was pulling the Independence Limited from Roanoke to Alexandria, Virginia, on a one way move. The steamer is shown in Lowry and Lynchburg. The latter photo shows the train crossing the Tye River. Also there that day were Paul Woodring and Jim Bacon.
