NW 2-6-6-4 #1218 - Norfolk Western
Title:  NW 2-6-6-4 #1218 - Norfolk Western
Description:  Built by the NW Roanoke Shops in June of 1943, this articulated 2-6-6-4 loco has a long and sometimes twisted history full of fluky luck, bargaining millionaires, trade negotiations and restorations. The photo was taken while #1218 was serving in the Norfolk Southern Steam Program. Later in the same year (1990), it would be on its way to an NRHS convention set in Union Station at St Louis, MO. An unknown photographer took this runby photo.
