I didn't get to see a whole lot of N&W units, but did see a few (quite a treat for me ) Here's a shot that shows TWO has beens: N&W and CR: A very exciting day when I caught these 2 units,,,, Harold
I'm guessing Norfolk & Western/Norfolk Southern retired these Beautiful High nosed GP30, years ago. I'll take all the high hoods I can get!lol
Not the best image, but I used an old (zeigler?) camera and had to guess on everything, including focus!
Both were 1977 if my memory serves me well, but coulda been as early as 1975 not much sooner. The Lake Div. used RS11's until I left the area in 1980. I was still a young teen then!!! [ 19. January 2003, 20:08: Message edited by: nickleplate ]

Nice shot Jonathan, I think that is a hand me down from the IT isnt it? Surprised they use a non-dynamic unit in the mountains. [ 25. January 2003, 02:34: Message edited by: nickleplate ]
According to N&W 2nd Generation Diesels by Withers & Bowers, this unit was ordered by the Wabash but wasn't delivered until after the N&W- NKP-Wab merger. Glad you liked the shot Len.
3-91 is the retirement date on the 1308 as listed in NS Motive Power Review 82-94 by Withers & Bowers. I'm starting to sound like a book salesman.
