First, I have a interesting question:<BR>Why was 604 the first J to go to
scrap?<BR>Second, in my completion of the book Midnight on the Pocahontas
(about 611's 1956 wreck) I have to cover why the 611 was preserved. I
would like this to be a private conversation, but I would like to speak with
former N&W employees and the like who have information on why the 611 is
still with us today. The subject can also be discussed on the board at the
moderator's wish.<BR>Lois J. Ponton<BR>Friends of the
