An Alco, a Baldwin, a caboose and a tower. On Thursday afternoon, July 6, N&W T6 41 was used to bring recently restored Chesapeake Western DS4-4-660 662 from the Roanoke Chapter NRHS's yard on the south side of town to the Virginia Museum of Transportation in downtown. The Alco and Baldwin are seen here on the connector between the former Virginian mainline and the N&W line to Winston-Salem, passing the boarded-up JK Tower. The T6 would shove the train north from here to the N&W main through downtown.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
Solely the CW Past and Present.
July 5, 1895 CW moved its first load of freight and although its existence is merely on paper today, its roots run deep. 129 years and still moving freight. The CW operates as a subsidiary of Norfolk Southern.
