A mule pushes two loads of coal to the rotary dumper. The cars will be secured in the dumper, turned and unloaded, and then released to travel to the empty yard where they will await another journey to the coal fields. After being loaded at the mines, they will journey back to Lamberts Point, where the entire process will be repeated endlessly (Jim Brewer photo) |

Normally off limits, tours to study former N&W facilities as an advantage of attending Society conventions. In order to more closely study N&W facilities, members were split into three groups to tour Lambert's Point Docks, the coal piers and Norfolk International Terminal. In this photo, 1/2 of the group poses by RP-F6 Slug, built from former VGN FM24-66 R/N 68, at Lambert's Point (Mason Y. Cooper photo) |
