about 2 years ago i had come to find out that the tracks near my home in greenville nc were original norfolk southern tracks
the original NS operated from 1883 to 1974 with the mainline from norfolk to charlotte
i even learned that in 1940 the NS purchased 5 small 2-8-4 berkshire locomotives #600-604 that had haunting throaty steamboat style whistles that chilled one's spine. sadly the berkshires only lasted in service on the old Norfolk Southern until 1950
the old NS also had GE 70 TON switchers Baldwin As416s etc
do any of you guys remember the original Norfolk Southern perhaps those old berkshires etc?
