Handling The Local

Outside The Museum, here is some action featuring Norfolk Southern SD40-2 No. 3412, (originally Conrail 6501), powering a local while passing by the East End Shops where they had produced 447 steam locomotives for the Norfolk & Western, from switching engines to the famed streamlined J-class passenger locomotives, the huge, articulated Y5 and Y6-classes for low-speed coal drags, and the A-class for fast freight service. Although NS shutdown the locomotive shops and moved all operations to the Juniata Locomotive Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania back in 2020, the buildings are still intact.
