Coal with N&W and SOU power |
| Description: |
A coal train bound for the Norfolk pier has three units-including a GP 35 of all things-and 223 cars. NS would take coal trains out of the mining districts, run them to Crewe, and combine them into monster loaded trains for the pier. Im told they ran 300 car empty trains back to Crewe, but did not see one. |

Good looking leader |
| Description: |
On the D&H in that era, it was possible have a six unit consist, and no two alike, and most of them dirty. It was a treat to find former LV C 420 413 in clean paint, leading a set of NW units. My friend Jerry got this!shot one weekend while up at the farm. |

Waiting to get in |
| Description: |
Lack of yard space sometimes made it necessary for trains to be parked outside the yard. This BFOA is on Conrail track 3 waiting for space in the yard. A yard crew will come out and get it when theres room. NS power was typical. |

Deepwater local |
| Description: |
Virginian had a line that went to Deepwater, on the Kanawha River, to interchange wtih the NYC. During a trip to chase C&O 614 in January of 1985, I lucked onto this run on the line. It was around 0730, really too early for much light there, but I took the shots I could. |

Dereco meet |
| Description: |
By this time, Dereco was a memory, a holding company created to separate the EL and D&H financial risk from the N&W, and had been dissolved shortly before Conrail was created. NW, however, did have a strong presence on the D&H, and it was not uncommon in those days to see trains with a large number of NW units. One of them is northbound here, meeting a D&H train. I did not take the photo-my friend Jerry, whose parents had a farm in Worcester, took it, so Im not sure of the location, but East Worcester is a strong possibility. |
