New DVD release! Celebrate the history of 611, and its 2015 resteaming! http://www.sundayriverproductions.com/norfolk-western/ Streamlined engine number 611, known as "The Spirit of Roanoke," emerged from Norfolk and Western's Roanoke shops on May 29, 1950, and remains, today, the sole survivor in the 4-8-4 J class.

In this action-packed DVD, follow the indomitable #611 pulling famed named trains, “The Pocahontas” and “Powhatan Arrow,” in the 1950s, as well as a tragic wreck that nearly became her undoing.

Then, in the 1980s, stunning aerial photography hovers above cliffs and snakes through hidden hollers deep in the mountains, tracking #611 through West Virginia and Ohio. The streamlined bullet nose ‘J’ Class 4-8-4 engine steps out on one of her rare trips across the summits of the Norfolk and Western main line between Roanoke and Portsmouth.

Finally, in 2015, witness #611 firing back to life once more. See this marvel of precision engineering and striking beauty, the Norfolk & Western #611—the engine rail fans will celebrate forever.
