Didn't they already remove rods and such? Seems like it would be nice to have such a photo shoot before removing parts, no? -K Date: 03/23/15 08:58 Re: N&W Y6a #2156 moved yet? Author: NWClassJ One would think but.....

Date: 03/23/15 09:01 Re: N&W Y6a #2156 moved yet? Author: CPR_4000 A little thing like missing rods would not deter the night photo artistes; just throw a little fog in there. I think they've done night shoots at VMT with (piston?) rods removed.

whole. And to bring this back on topic, there was a post this morning on the N&W Historical Society email list that not much has changed over the winter and they still aren't giving a special date when she'll move. It's suggested that it may not be until summer. Date: 03/23/15 13:58 Re: N&W Y6a #2156 moved yet? Author: Defective_Detector Only guess I would hazard is it will arrive in Roanoke shortly before 611 so they can prep her for the big photoshoot.
(Rumor mill says they are planning to replicate the famous N&W company photo of the J, A and a Y-6 once they are all in Roanoke.) A bigger question will be the route she will take. The short way involves the super busy and crew short CNO&TP. The long way add several hundred miles BUT will go former N&W rails all the way from Columbus to Roanoke, which might make for a better PR story. Posted from iPhone |
