A GG1, an SD45, a high-hood, a CPL and a tower. Recently repainted Norfolk & Western SD45 1776 brings up the rear of a special photo train headed from downtown Roanoke to the Virginia Museum of Transportation for display this weekend. The special, led by three heritage units, is passing by the museum grounds and the PRR GG1 on display at left. One track over from the special, NS local V80, led by ex-Southern high-hood GP38-2 5140, waits for a signal at the CPLs at Park Street, with a now-closed N&W tower nearby.
Crazy pool power consists, colorful gatherings of locomotives at a diesel service area, or a mixture of colorful locomotives in storage lines. A minimum of four different paint schemes required.
Displays of American pride, and spirit! Equipment painted Red, White, and Blue! With an honored salute and tribute to our veterans and troops added too! Patriots can still be found to join this gathering of Patriotic Pride!
