Excerpt:
Norfolk Southern said Friday that it will donate $1.5 million to the restoration of a former Norfolk & Western Railway steam passenger locomotive called the Class J No. 611. The locomotive is now part of the collection of the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke. Plans call for it to be put into service for passenger excursions in 2014.

The locomotive went into regular service in 1950, was retired in 1959, restored for a stint in excursion service from 1984 to 1994, and has been retired since.

The museum is trying to raise $5 million for the locomotive's restoration and long-term maintenance.
