attempt to keep the reporting marks simular. Once it was Norfolk Southern RailROAD. Another time it<br>
became Norfolk & Southern Railway. During one reorganization the ampersand was dropped and it<br>
became Norfolk Southern again. There is a drawing in the archives files which shows the scroll herald<br>
with the ampersand discretely obliterated by a diamond.<br>
