J 600 Who was E O T on the N&W

Another story on the 600.  It was on a passenger train headed to Norfolk 
on the race track between Petersburg and Suffolk in the late 50's.  It 
was running at passenger speed (fast) when the guide for the left 
cylinder, firemans side broke.  It took them a mile to get that train 
stopped.  The roundhouse people from Norfolk came out and isolated that 
side of the locomotive and removed any rods necessary and ran it to 
Norfolk under its own power.  I thought sure it would be scrapped at the 
time.  It was sent to Roanoke Shops and repairs made.  The only paint 
applied was the cylinder cover.  I saw it at Shaffers after the repair 
with the shinny cylinder waiting to be called for service.

I think I have a photo after the repair but have been unable to find 
it.  If anyone has the date of this failure or photos of the repair I 
would like to see them.
