MOST OF THE PHOTOS ON THIS PAGE WERE TAKEN DURING THE DECADE OF THE 1980s. THIS WAS A DIFFERENT TIME ON THE RAILROADS.
THEY WERE A LOT MORE LENIENT ON THE PICTURE TAKING IN THE YARDS THAN THEY ARE NOW. ALSO, PERMISSION ON THE N&W COULD BE GAINED
BY WRITING THE DIVISION SUPERINTENDENT IN CREWE. IN THIS POST 9/11 ERA, MY ADVICE IS TO STAY OFF RAILROAD PROPERTY.
I HAVE ADDED A FEW B&W PICTURES FROM THE 50'S. THESE WERE TAKEN BY HEYWOOD BROWN.
