I remember the days of steam engines and used to travel on passenger trains quit often in 1950′s. My dad worked for the N&W and in 1958 when he was assistant roundhouse foreman in Crewe, Va. I got to pull on throttle of a Class J locomotive (the passenger engine 600 series) out of the roundhouse. I was about 14 years old and a great thrill.
