Description:  Welcome to the Virginia Museum of Transportation! On display are NW 1218, NW 6, NW 2156, and I believe a Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 electric engine. Somehow, I did not get any closeup shots of the Pennsylvania, but you will find plenty of photographs of the other engines in this album!

Theis loco was sold to the DRGW in April of 1943 where its incredible tractive effort of 114,034 lb helped move very long drags of cars through the mountains. It lasted under the DRGW roster for a short 6 years before being scrapped in March of 1949. Rebuilot NW specs - 56" drivers, incredible 265 psi boiler pressure, 25x32" high pressure cylinders, 39x32" low pressure cylinders, massive engine wt of 526,000 lb, and imcredible tractive effort of 114,034 lb. The photo is from the Mallory Hope Ferrell collection. No date or location was given for the photo so approximates were used.
