Norfolk and Western No. 602

The Norfolk & Western No. 602 is a 4-8-4 J class steam locomotive built in 1941 by the Roanoke Shops in Roanoke, Virginia for the Norfolk and Western Railroad.
No. 602, and all the others spent most of there life hauling passenger trains, such as the Powhatan Arrow, the Pocahontas, and the Cavalier between Norfolk, Virginia and Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as ferrying Southern Railway's the Birmingham Special, the Pelican, and the Tennessean between Monroe, Virginia and Bristol, Tennessee.
In 1959, No. 602 was scrapped after the Norfolk & Western finally turned to diesels when all the J class was retired.
