I had no idea that 614 was there as well I though this engine was still running guess not. Looks in good shape. Looks like part of the wheel connecting rod is missing besides that its very well looks runnable.
What this engine used for and what wheel type is that for a diesel? Looks very good condition for outdoors

wow from that picture to now it has came a long way to being restored glad there restoring it
.as for 614, she was sidelined when Ross Roland died. I want to say that was in the late '90s. they tried to auction it off a few years ago but it didn't sell. It's been in New Jersey for nearly a decade until just recently when Norfolk Southern towed it to Roanoke (the move was well documented on RRpictures.net) for display at the VTR. You probably got there right after the engine arrived, and they hadn't had a chance to put the main and eccentric rods back on (for obvious reasons they had to be removed so NS could tow her). I know from shots of a recent Lerro Productions Photo Charter on RRP.net (can you tell i like lurking er hanging out there:hehe that her rods are all back on.
just some FYI.

Geez, Dont let Ross Rowland know he died otherwise he might not finish this.
In early 2011 Ross announced the planned restoration and operation of the Greenbrier Express, a luxury train set to operate from Washington, D.C. to the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulpher Springs, WV. The train is being rebuilt in Pottstown, PA.

From what I´ve heard at N&W historical society, the J might run again at some point, but the A probably will never run again,as it would need over twice as much money as the J to make it runable again.
I was in Roanoke on 16th of january and found the 614 idling at the Roanoke shops.
Here are some pictures I took that great day.
Here´s my father, running away from the J.
:hehe:
Cheers from the german N&W nerd.

So when was this taken when 614 came there?
