N&W #41 (Formerly Chesapeake Western #11) is pulling the Candy Cane Express out of the yard, carrying parents and their little ones on a short ride up to Shaffer's Crossing and back. Thanks to the many efforts of Roanoke Chapter NRHS for restoring her back to working order. After a long life on the Chesapeake Western pulling freight, this short little passenger train was a treat to see and ride again for this CW local.
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. 128 years and still moving freight. The CW operates as a subsidiary of Norfolk Southern.
