N&W: Giant of Steam (Revised Edition) |
| The most definitive story of N&W steam ever written has been updated, revised, and re-printed!At the time of its original publication in 1980, this book, authored by Colonel Lewis Ingles Jeffries, gave us the story of N&W steam as complete as possible and as no other ever had... but as great it was, there were gaps in the information, due simply to the facts not being available at that time. That situation has now been corrected in this new, 350 page revised hardcover edition!

N&W Powhatan Arrow |

DVD- Norfolk and Western |
Steam in the East Series
It's hard to believe that such a film could exist - capturing the largest fleet of articulated ever built, operating on their original tracks, in this case, the western slope of the N&W main line between Bluefield and Portsmouth Ohio. See the agile Class A with high speed manifest or rolling long strings of heavyweight cars at 70MPH. See Class Y's while they shake the Appalachians to their very roots on the heavy grades and the tortuous curves of the Tug Fork. From start to finish every single frame is stunning action. More than 100 fun pasts from the bygone age of real railroading!
