The fading Norfolk and Western "zigzag" logo on the side of WSRY #1754, built as NW #857 and one of almost 300 GP9s built for the Norfolk and Western during the very beginning of N&W's dieselization process.

Starting off as a consolidation of three Virginia railroads, the Norfolk and Western expanded over the course of a century to a system stretching from Norfolk, Viriginia to as far west as Kansas City. The N&W's "zigzag" logo and livery emerged seven years after the N&W's midwestern expansion through the acquisitions of the Nickel Plate and the Wabash. This scheme would eventually evolve into what we know as Norfolk Southern's "Thoroughbred" livery.

The Norfolk and Western disappeared off paper in 1997, but its 7,000+ mile wide system has become an integral part of the Norfolk Southern system. However, it's legacy of "Precision Transportation" will disappear soon as NS takes on Precision Schedule Railroading.

Precision parts start with precision fixtures. These blanks will be precisely milled on a Haas EC-400 to create fixtures to hold Haas tailstock castings during machining. By controlling the quality of the fixture, Haas controls the quality of the part. Building quality throughout the entire process is the number one priority at Haas.
