> TRAINS  magazine’s annual $10,000 Preservation Award will go to the 

Virginia Museum of  Transportation for the cosmetic restoration of Norfolk & 
Western  Bicentennial diesel locomotive No. 1776. The magazine announced the 
award  Saturday night during the annual banquet of the Association of Railway  
Museums/Tourist Railway Association Inc. in Chattanooga, Tenn.

modern  high-horsepower freight locomotives shines in a dazzling coat of fresh 
red,  white, and blue paint by the time of the nation’s 236th birthday on 
July 4,  2012. The Roanoke, Va., museum plans to use special paint on the unit, 
which  will be key to special events related to the 30th anniversary in 
2012 of  N&W successor Norfolk Southern. The locomotive will be displayed under 
a  shelter the museum is preparing to  build.
