(Above) M2 class 1119 was the regularly assigned Waynesboro shifter engine. Shown at Waynesboro in February 1957, she awaits a switching assignment that will never come. For tomorrow, with a mournful wail of her whistle, she'll head off for Roanoke and the rip track (William E. Warden photo) |

Class K1 4-8-2 No. 100 pauses at the station stop at Luray on train No. 14 in October 1941. Shenandoah Division passenger service relied on the 4-8-2 type for the latter part of its existence. This photo, of N&W's original 4-8-2, shows the locomotive with the pre-war style of lettering, stopped at the crossing later made famous by O. Winston Link, albeit from the opposite side of the track. (W. L. Wedemeyer photo/Mason Cooper collection) |

Among the Shenandoah Valley RR stations upgraded by N&W was Berryville, VA./ This photograph taken in 1886 or 1887 shows the SVRR station at the Main St. location in Berryville. The new facility was built several hundred yards to the south, at which time the old station was removed. The site was filled in and is today used for truck parking by a nearby fuel dealer.

In 1957 N&W began construction of a new consolidated passenger and freight station at Front Royal. The facility replaced an existing station on Luray Avenue and the station at Riverton, VA. The move was made in part as one of the railroad's attempts to improve passenger service on the line. (Mason Y. Cooper photo) |

The station at Elkton once had a covered passenger platform. The holes for the steel support posts are evident in this November 1974 view. The covered passenger platform was taken down in 1964 so Trailer trains would clear. In the rear is the Chesapeake & Western enginehouse. (Mason Y. Cooper photo/Jim Brewer collection) |

Passenger GP9 519 lays over at Front Royal, November 20, 1969. With fewer and fewer passenger trains left, the locomotives are beginning to appear in freight service, Although its frame stripe is fading, 519 still has its steam generator and maybe its passenger gearing as the power is being used to switch out cuts of cars for Old Virginia Jelly and the SR interchange.

Former N&W passenger GP9 505, nee 767, revisits one of its old haunts, August 8, 1978, working on the shifter at Front Royal. The final unit of the original passenger geeps, the locomotive has been shorn of its steam generator and refitted with freight gearing, and now works in near anonymity in the road service. (Mason Y.
