An FM ? Not exactly.? Mr. Claytor was apparently
knowledgeable about the workings of NS Junction
(in Chesapeake).??This was one of the last (if
not the last) "armstrong" interlocking on the N&W.
The signals and switches controlled by NS Junction
were lever-operated and it took quite a bit of
muscle to manipulate the crossovers.

Realizing the significance of this?arrangement, when
NS Junction was modernized and the tower dis-
mantled, Mr. Claytor arranged to have the
interlocking directed to Virginia Transportation Museum.
S&C loaded the parts into a gondola, but somewhere
along the way, the contents of the car were listed
as "scrap" and to a scrap dealer the gondola went.
