Norfolk and Western Class J is a Class of 4-4-2 Steam locomotives purchased by Norfolk and Western Railroad this being the second J class and should not be confused with the later more well known J class of 1941. The retirement of the first J classes in 1900 left the designation available for reuse for these engines. There were 7 of these Class J’s made and they were retired between 1931 and 1935 once again leaving the J class designation available to be reused in 1941.
