Close up of 611's nose and the N&W herald in the wing wall of the Fort Ave. overpass.
Title:  Close up of 611's nose and the N&W herald in the wing wall of the Fort Ave. overpass.
Description:  I believe the date of 1958 can be seen just below 611's pilot, so, conceivably class J's could have operated here in regular service, although N&W passenger trains used the old main line to get to Union Station, and not on the Belt Line, as seen here.

Title:  Now facing west 611 and train (NS 958) start on the leg back to Roanoke
Description:  Train is passing the Woodall Road station, which served as N&W's passenger station from December, 1964 until the end of N&W service on May 1, 1971. N&W's trains stopped here, on the "Belt Line" after Union Station in downtown Lynchburg was abandoned. Amtrak's Mountaineer and Hilltopper stopped here, too. March 25, 1975 - Sep. 30, 1979
