A visit to the Norfolk & Western in the early 1950s was like a
scene from Jurassic Park: prehistoric beasts romping in their natural mountain
habitat. At a time when other roads were letting their remaining steam engines
rot away and giving them minimal service in dirty, dingy, soon-to-close
facilities, the N&W was still running a first-class steam operation and even
building new power. With its main line through some of the nation’s richest
coalfields, it was still betting on the future of steam; as late as 1955, the
N&W didn’t roster a single diesel. The majority of traffic was handled by
what N&W fans call the “holy trinity of steam”: the massive Y6 2-8-8-2; the
articulated greyhound Class A; and the N&W’s glamour girl, the streamlined
Class J.
The Class J 4-8-4 was an engine of quiet superlatives. Handsome, powerful
(5100 hp), and, as a test on the Pennsylvania Railroad proved, capable of
hauling 15 cars at 110 mph, it was designed and styled not by one of the big
three builders (ALCo, Baldwin, and Lima) or a famous designer like Raymond Loewy
or Henry Dreyfuss, but by the N&W’s home-grown team of designers and
craftsmen at the road’s Roanoke, Virginia shops. For power and quick
acceleration through mountainous territory, and to make room for the largest
possible boiler, they equipped the streamlined J with 70” drivers — unusually
small for a 4-8-4 and fully 10” smaller than the Southern Pacific’s
Daylight GS-4 of the same wheel arrangement.
Built in several groups between 1941 and 1950, a mere fourteen J’s were able
to handle 80% of the N&W’s passenger traffic, because their designers
addressed one of steam power’s key weaknesses: down time for maintenance and
repairs. Equipped with Timken roller bearings on all axles and rods,
Timken-designed lightweight pistons and rods, and an automatic lubrication
system that reached more than 200 points including the bell bearings, the Js
were designed to go a quarter-million miles between scheduled shop visits. Like
a race car, they were engineered for quick pit stops: in less than an hour, a J
could be fully serviced, lubricated, filled with coal and water and ready for
its next dash over the road’s 676-mile main line between Norfolk and Cincinnati,
hauling the deluxe daylight Powhatan Arrow or the overnight
Pocahontas.
New for 2009, our N&W J will be more fun to operate than any previous
version of this magnificent locomotive, with its N&W whistle, passenger
station announcements, synchronized chuff and puffing smoke, and speed control
so smooth you won’t spill the water in the diner. For more information on our
superbly detailed model and its prototype, including surviving J No. 611, visit
