When the late Gil Abar first came aboard, he asked me to post this photo for him. In my opinion it is one of the best nostalgic shots of the N&W that exists. A J, A and Y all in the same photo. Good stuff. We miss you, Gil.
Nice pic! That's an official N&W photo BTW (I thought I recognized it!). http://spec.lib.vt.edu/imagebase/norfolksouthern/full/ns1220.jpeg
I wonder if Gil took these pic's?If he was it would have been something to be so close to these puppies.Lucky man.
