Subject: [Railroad Model Info] Things change.

 

Went with Cindy today through Coopers on the NS Pokey subdivision. 

Saw the location where one of the OWL shots was taken of the church and the
line below. Of course the trees have grown a lot in 50 years. However the
feel is still here. 

Seeing the old coaling towers in Ieager & Bluefield today and the old
lubritorium now locomotive shop saws tons about change also. 

Can only imagine the days when steam dominated the N&W still. 

Seeing old covered hoppers and even N&W cabooses does provide a continuum
even as the 30 year anniversary of NS approaches in 2012
