Starburst
The early morning mist created a startburst pattern around the headlamp of Norfolk and Western #611. ..She is known as “The Queen of Steam”. Number 611, a Class-J locomotive, was built at Norfolk and Western’s Roanoke Shops in May 1950. She is the only surviving engine of the fourteen that were built. ..The engine could generate more than 5,100 horsepower and move at speeds up to 110 mph. She was built near the end of the steam era and retired from service in 1959. No. 611 is part of the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke Virginia..
