NS Update

On Saturday, a rail car carrying a load of calcium chloride overturned underneath the Fifth Street bridge, just outside the museum's gates. Clean-up operations have been on-going since that time. This has meant that work on the track leading into our property -- the reason #611 and #1218 have not returned yet -- has not been completed.

Today, we received word that our two engines MIGHT be returned tomorrow. No time has yet been set for that event. Neither have we heard whether Norfolk Southern will help us re-arrange our rolling stock or not

And so, once again, if you're planning to come to the museum tomorrow, either to see our the engines or to see them moving around, please call ahead to make sure it's happening.

For your patience, here's a photo of #1218 at the shops at night. This photo was taken by Wayne McKinney, a Norfolk Southern employee. Enjoy.
