Class J Mechanical Engineer Names

[NW Mailing List]

Noel was an N&W man; IFIR he worked in the passenger car dept and was known to have an artistic bent.  I believe there is more about him in Bud Jeffries’ GIANT OF STEAM book.  I think there were also some sketches that were rejected on the way to the J design.  These appear on pages 240-241 of the revised edition of GIANT OF STEAM.

Mr. King, 

Thank you for your response.  Can you tell me more about Frank C. Noel?   Is he from Norfolk & Western, or a hired designer from elsewhere?  Do you know where he got his inspiration from?  Absolutely anything will be a big help!

Any pictures, stories, names, etc. will be much appreciated for anyone who worked on or designed the Class J's.


Please help my son honor these wonderful people who worked together to create the best trains as more than employees of Norfolk & Western!
