Steam locomotive 1218 taking on coal then leaving Asheville for Spencer in 1989. The whistle on this one makes the others seem whimpy! Watch the guy in the PeeWee shoes run away when the very, very large locomotive speaks!

  • what's the "exibit car"?

  • NS website says:

    Norfolk Southern's Exhibit Car illustrates how people and technology support the company's vision to be the safest, most customer-focused and successful transportation company in the world.

    A restored passenger coach, the Exhibit Car has been in operation on Norfolk Southern since 1971. More than 1.5 million people have been aboard in 300 communities. The car houses interactive exhibits about the history and operations of the Norfolk Southern system.

  • America lost something when it lost these giants. Wow.
