But . . . but . . . Greg -

Those were NOT typical operations in the Age of Steam, they were excursions run for the benefit of us Foamers and/or Phraud-O-Graphers®, and #611 was the featured performer who wasn't about to be upstaged by a mere 2-8-2 freight hog. Had the Powhatan Arrow ever needed a helper in N&W days, I have little doubt that a 2-8-2 or 4-8-2 would NOT have been inserted between #611 and her train.
