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

Jim -  Your recollection of the past is amazing!  I started to collect builder’s plates as a teenager back in 1963 as a link back to an era that I missed as I was born in 1949.  I really enjoyed reading the additional information about #600!!

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.

  And, that was the builders plate off the fireman's side of 600.  The one on the engineer's side was removed at Norfolk.  That plate made it all the way to Portsmouth and Tom's collection.

        This was probably a fan at Portsmouth named Ed O. Tefs.  He was a modeler friend of Tom Dressler.

        I am hoping that someone on the list can tell me who “EOT”  might have been on the N&W.    I have had this builder’s plate in my collection for many years and I believe someone told me at one time.  Unfortunately,  I did not mark it down.

        Thanks for your help!!
