NW 1218
Title:  NW 1218
Description:  After riding behind the 1218 from Birmingham to Columbus Ga, my friend and I got off to get some photos. We picked this spot to get a shot of the 1218 backing back towards the yard. There were two other photographers looking at this same spot. One spoke to a near by Police Officer and then the officer used his car to stop traffic. This left a clear shot of the train on the street. A shot from one of those two other photographers appeared in Trains Magazine soon after.

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.
