Description: |
In what would be final shot of the special, NS train 956 comes around the curve and enters the WR Interlocking. Just passed the interlocking, the train would stop and would not move for 4 hours, while the crew tended to an over heating bearing on the rear axle of the tender. it took 3.5 hours to get from Kirkwood to WR tower in Granite City. |

N&W 2156 |
Description: |
N&W 2156 has just left the Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood, its home since retirement, as it is towed east to the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, where it was built by the N&W in 1942. The move is taking place as part of a loan agreement between MOT and VMT to return the engine to its home territory. The locomotive is pictured here in the pouring rain as the train waited for a signal at Maplewood on the UP Jefferson City Subdivision. The train included support cars from VMT and NS and a crew to inspect the locomotive during the trip. |

Description: |
The train stopped to change crews here at East Wayne. I have no clue what the number of this train is so if anyone has any info on what the number was that would be appreciated. And like I thought there would be, there were many railfans and steam lovers alike to watch this historic "Y" steam engine. |
