Ohio Museum - N&W E2 #587 up for "grabs"

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Ed has nailed it right on. I had a ringside seat to the last years of trains 
5 & 6. I lived on Greever Avenue in Bluefield, VA with the CV line right 
accross the street. When I wasn't in school, I'd be on the lookout for 
trains. I also remember several Virginian steamers sitting outside of 
Platnick's scrap yard waiting the end.

Now if only whoever gets 578 also assembles a proper N&W passenger consist 
behind her.
