5. Class J Locomotive 612 hauling the Powhatan Arrow, moving fast Westbound at Montgomery Tunnel. - Class J Locomotive 612 hauling the Powhatan Arrow, moving fast Westbound at Montgomery Tunnel. A few days before Christmas, 1955, Winston Link returned to Montgomery tunnel to make photographs in daylight. He liked the location because the westbound trains were moving upgrade, so the locomotives were working hard. The tunnel contained the smoke and steam exhaust, so the locomotives usually came out in a cloud of vapor, which made spectacular photos. The tunnel was also at the base of a deep cut, and Link also worked at the top, looking down at the locomotives as they left the tunnel.

19. The Powhatan Arrow Westbound on Bridge 854, West of Cooper Tunnel. - On a warm summer afternoon in 1955, Class J 604 pulls the Powhatan Arrow, the N&W's finest train, smartly across Bridge 854, above the Bluestone River, west of Cooper Tunnel in West Virginia. The faded red of the old heavyweight mail storage cars behind the tender is a bit of a surprise among the line of modern Tuscan red coaches and a lounge-diner moving swiftly from Norfolk to Cincinnati. Neither mail nor checked baggage were normally carried on this train as the N&W didn't want to disturb the hard driving fifteen-and-a-half hour schedule between the two cities by taking the time to handle mail or baggage.
