I could get away with getting on this train now, but it was pushing it a bit in 1984 to be on a Portsmouth Harbour - Newcastle SAGA charter. 37 271 was the engine, which worked from New St to Derby, where it failed moments after this photo was taken.

Climbed up to the upper deck of the 747 and was warmly welcomed by two friendly male flight attendants. One of them asked me if I was connecting from somewhere. I told him I was still on Tokyo time, and he totally related and we had a good laugh. The Chief Purser, a lovely woman named Constance, came to welcome me aboard and was so proud of this First Class product and said she wanted me to be absolutely spoiled. This was going to be a good flight!

The Norfolk and Western Class J 611 is the pinnacle of steam locomotive technology in the world in many ways. Built at the end of the era of steam power there were 14 Class J's produced from 1941 through 1950. The 611, as with all Class J locomotives, was produced in the Norfolk and Western shops in Roanoke, Virginia. The shops there turned out a 500,000 pound monster, producing over 5,000 horsepower at the drawbar. This represents a greater tractive effort than any locomotive before or since. The Class J rides on a massive single piece cast steel frame underpinning the entire locomotive. With the close tolerances, rigidity, and space for a massive fire box this frame allowed the top speed was limited "by the nerves of the engineer". On a controlled test track pulling 1,050 tons the Class J recorded a top speed of 111mph, with about 100mph being common in actual use. 611 began her service hauling passenger trains in May of 1950, and was retired from regular service in October, 1959. Today she is regularly on display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, but as seen here crossing the Radian River does come out to pull the occasional excursion train.
