Interstate

[NW Mailing List]

This web site has information on Interstate steam locomotives (part of the site Dave identified).  Of note are the 3 secondhand N&W Z-1a's.  There are also former PRR and SRR locomotives.  Interstate originated coal commonly went over the N&W to Norfolk (probably west too by way of the Dry Fork branch). I can remember strings of Interstate coal cars in N&W trains going through Giles County.  From a modeling standpoint a bit of Interstate modeling is a nice compliment to modeling the N&W.  As somewhat discussed in prior notes much of the Interstate is still productively in place.  It's now a part of the Pocahontas Division of NS.
As a general note I see folks regularly asking questions about things that are easily accessible on the internet. Doing searches on the internet is very simple.  If you've not done much of this I suggest that you do a bit of it.  You will be amazed how much good information is out there on railroad subjects.
