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.
