Remarks & Notes

N&W class Y6a #2156 poses in front of the former site of the N&W/NS Roanoke Car Shop, present day Freight Car America facility. A yard crew has pulled the big gal out of her hiding place and left her unobstructed for a few minutes during a run around move to get back on the west end. Soon they'll tow her up the VMT for placement at the "N&W Big Three" event where she'll pose with sisters 611 and 1218.

The Reviving Age Of Steam Restoration Album created by member Guillermo Sanchez	Album Views: 22,273
As the years go by, more and more steam engines are being restored and operating therefore the old expression "steam is dead" is nothing but a false expression. Steam is strong and still ruling the rails.
