CW diesels & NG engine

[NW Mailing List]

The narrow gauge engine on the flat car looks like ET&WNC 
(Tweetsie) #12 being transported back to Blowing Rock, NC 
from it's temporary home on the Shenandoah Central in Penn 
Laird, Va.

A note from Cy Crumley's Tweetsie Scrapbook website says 
"After the ET&WNC ceased narrow gauge operations in 1950, 
Engine 12 was sold to become part of a tourist railroad in 
Virginia, the Shenandoah Central. In this photo (see the 
link to Cy's Scrapbook) the 12 is loaded up and heading out 
of Elizabethton bound for Virginia."

#12 was sent to Virginia in 1952 and returned to Blowing 
Rock in 1957.

The reason I assume this picture is of #12's return to 
Blowing Rock is because the flat car does not look like the 
one used to transport it to Penn Laird.  Reference the 
picture on the Tweetsie Scrapbook website:
