| Wabash #1009 (built as #809 s/n 14420 o/n 6281 La Grange 6/51) is part of the Virginia Transportation Museum collection and a static display only. After falling victim to a flood in 1985, the unit fell into a state of disrepair for many years, with its side sheets missing. In 2012, it was sent to Norfolk Southern’s East End Shop in Roanoke for a cosmetic rebuild. At the end of 2013 it was moved to the NS paint shop in Chattanooga where it was painted into its as-delivered Wabash scheme. The final touches were applied on March 3 2014 |
