At the time of the Virginian merger, N&W was well on its way to being totally dieselized railroad.

  Members , here is a question from an Englishman


  I have read several books on the Virginian RR and Gene Huddlestones book on the H8


  My question is  :Why did the N&W mothball the 8 AG's it inherited from the Virginian. It seems to me that those 8 locomotives would have fitted in well with N&W "A" diagrams
