TRAINS	Aug-47	Norfolk Southern's lone passenger train from Norfolk to Raleigh pulls out of Norfolk behind Ten-wheeler 110.
TRAINS	Nov-47	Norfolk Southern's erstwhile mixed run between Aberdeen and Pinehurst, N. C., carried Pullman cars1 but no coaches. Notice how the rail line undulates with the ground. The train is headed downhill to Seaboard connections at Aberdeen.
TRAINS	Apr-49	Norfolk Southern steam power lines up before the camera at the road's Carolina Junction shops at South Norfolk, Va. NS's neat 2-8-0's and 4-6-0's are headed for the scrap merchant as diesels take over.
TRAINS	Jan-51	Norfolk Southern
TRAINS	Dec-53	In a scene dated by the Norfolk Southern rail bus in the background, Ten Wheeler 202, one of four TA-class 4-6-0's built by Alco in 1907 stands in the Norfolk station.
TRAINS	Feb-60	NEW 24-hour l.c.l. service between Norfolk and Charlotte, N. C., 383.3 miles, is effectively blurbed by Norfolk Southern on freshly painted box cars with Tarwheel slogan
TRAINS	Jan-61	A GRIN and a friendly wave come from the engineer as his two 1500 h.p. Baldwin units, trailing 55 cars, lead eastbound Norfolk Southern freight 64 past Photographer Lamb's camera and out of Raleigh, N. C.
TRAINS	Nov-61	BACK in early 1940 Baldwin delivered five small 2-8-4's to Norfolk Southern, a fact which would ordinarily be of little more than regional interest. But some of NS's 600's wound up in private ownership in Mexico. Finally diesels caught up with them there, and in October 1958 the last three - NdeM 3350, 3351, and 3354 - were set aside for scrap. Now the news is that Aguascalientes Shops overhauled all three. Here's 3351 on February 12, 1961!
TRAINS	Apr-62	Next page: Ex Norfolk Southern UR-1 2-8-4 3351 rides high in Aguascalientes Shop after removal from storage for overhaul in January 1961.
TRAINS	Feb-66	Photo: IDLER axles of Norfolk Southern AlA-AlA road-switcher 1504 (above) apparently weren't needed by buyer Durham & Southern, which renumbered converted B-B to 363 (below) after sale.
TRAINS	Sep-67	IN the piney-woods terrain of North Carolina in August 1965, a Norfolk Southern local freight shoves a cut into the Seaboard Air Line interchange track at Aberdeen. The Electro-Motive low-nose GP18 on the point -No. 7-is obviously ages younger than the elderly caboose at the left.
