<P>I recently read on Virginia's Musuem of Transportation website that the N&W J-class 611 was so efficiently counterbalanced and engineered that it could be pulled by a couple of guys and a rope[%-)]. I know that the J-class was very well engineered and argubaly the fastest passenger engine with the lowest drivers[:D]; but 2-3 average full grown men being able to pull it with a rope seems a little extreme. I just that this would spark some interest in all the steam fans out their[8)]. You can follow my link to the Virginia Musuem of Transportation below, click exhibits, and you should see the link to the j-class. </P> <P>-Matt Ferencz</P> <P><A href="http://www.vmt.org/exhibits.htm"><FONT color=#0000ff>http://www.vmt.org/exhibits.htm</FONT></A></P> <P> </P> <P> </P>
