No, not for the 604. But then, you knew that!   Jim Nichols

I helped Dixon with some of the photos and proof-read his text a couple of times to make corrections, but knew nothing of the cover painting until I received the finished book. Robert West does good work, but obviously worked from excursion 611 photos for the cover painting, and must have been in a hurry, since the window arrangements on the passenger cars are not particularly accurate either. This is not his best effort.  Jim Nichols

I am not in the least surprised. Having worked for Dixon for a number of years, I worked very hard to make sure things were correct in his books on subjects that I knew something about, not at his expense, but my own interest in getting it right in print.

 

However, at the Bluefield Train Show in November 2005, in regard to his own books, Dixon stated to me and my future wife: 

 

"The people who buy these books don't care if they are right or not, or the photos look good, they only care if they have photos."

 

I was appalled. That is a direct quote, not paraphrased or extracted from an entire conversation as the media is prone to do.

The reason I asked this question is that on the front cover of Dixon's new book that was just released is an illustration of the N&W J 604 by Robert West with a double headlight.  It just strikes me funny that a book is printed about the history of the N&W Powhatan Arrow and the cover isn't historically correct.  Just an observation.

No excursion service only.

I believe I know the answer to this question, but there seems to always to be an exception to every rule.

Did the N&W steam, particularly the J's ever have a double beam headlight in the 50's?
