Norfolk and Western Railway’s J class steam locomotives were a class of 4-8-4 locomotives built by the Norfolk and Western Railway’s East End Shops in Roanoke Virginia between 1941 and 1950. The first batch numbered 600 to 604 were built in 1941–42 and were delivered streamlined. In 1943 605–610 were delivered without shrouding and lightweight side rods due to the limitations on the use of certain materials during the war; due to these distinctions they were classified J1.
