NS records no longer at VA Tech

[NW Mailing List]

While I do not know for sure but I would bet that the collection is going to 
join the rest of the Southern collection that is already at the Southern 
Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Georgia. 
http://www.southernmuseum.org/  The SRHA has moved their collection their 
and has been getting more and more since NS moved to their new office 
building in Atlanta and out of the old Southern offices.
Again I do not know for sure but this is my guess, especially since they do 
not have an archives building here as far as I know.
