NW 2-6-6-4 #1206 - Norfolk & Western |
| Description: |
Taken during a fan trip in 1958, this articulated class A locomotive built by the N&W shops in 1936 had 70" drivers, developed a whopping 300 psi boiler pressure and exerted a massive 125,897 lb tractive force. Roller bearings throughout made this one of the peak efficient steam locomotives ever built and could compete with effectively with diesels for awhile. Unfortunately, they too succombed to the scrap pile and were retired between 1958-59. This may have been one of its last runs before retirement, if not THE last one! |

Another historic steam locomotive that the unknown rail fan found at the Virginia Transportation Museum was this massive Norfolk & Western 2-6-6-4 #1218. In 1987, this beautiful locomotive sat outside but eventuallhy it was brought into a sheltered area after a renovation. The loco was built not far from this location by the Norfolk & Western Shops in Juen of 1943. The loco served until being reitred from regular revenue service. In 1986, it was restored to be used by NS for the steam excursions between 1987-91. It was finally donated to the Virginia Museum of Transportation for static display. |
