Remarks & Notes

Prior to the arrival of the 20 new Heritage Units, three veterans from Norfolk Southern's family of railroads were gathered in Roanoke for a special "30th Anniversary" photo shoot. And what better locomotive model says "30" than a GP30?! From left to right, we see NW 522 from the Roanoke Chapter NRHS, Southern 2594 from the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth (Atlanta), GA (on loan to the Tennesee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga), and Conrail 2233 from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. Representing the modern-day NS is SD60E #6902, a product of NS's own Juniata Locomotive Shop in Altoona, PA. In this overview, we also see the turntable at the East End Shop, three GE locomotives awaiting maintenance, and an outbound freight departing Roanoke for Linwood, NC, as well as NS's Roanoke office building, located on Franklin Road (upper right).

A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
