Class J Shoppings After Jan 1956

[NW Mailing List]

“as long as steam was running the shops were running.”  
The shops were running but not for steam – the last steam locomotive was repaired at Roanoke Shops in May 1958.  The last steam engine to run was in May 1960.

As I said before all of the J’s were shopped at least annually. You asked about the shoppings for the J’s.  Here they are for the 611 which is typical for all the J’s:

11/55    Class 3        annual shopping; included one new firebox sheet
2/56                5        because of accident at Cedar
8/56                6        minor repairs
2/57                5        annual shopping; got new rods with single intermediate rod
6/57                6        because of a minor accident
9/57                Paint shop
2/58                3        annual shopping

After 611’s last shopping, here are the other J’s to received repairs before shutting down steam repairs.

612    3/58       Class 3
604    3/58                3
600    4/58                5
601    4/58                5
606    5/58                5

as long as steam was running the shops were running.

NKP held their steamers for a few years even after dieseling -just in case- but eventually went to the scrappers.

  Odd question, not sure if there is even an answer; 

  What would the J Class shopping schedule looked like say from 1956 until their demise. 

  Obviously 611 went in for a shopping after its wreck in 1956, but how many other Js received a shopping after that time frame?
