Why the 611?

[NW Mailing List]

I believe that because it was overhauled after the wreck at Cedar that it was in the best condition.  It was on the last excursion in 1959 and was set aside after that.

Hi, all,

Just had an inquiry from an N&WHS author/member, asking the musical question: Why was it the 611 that was chosen to be preserved instead of any other Class J?

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts/opinions/facts.

Thanks, and see you in Front Royal,
