Setting the history record straight

[NW Mailing List]

Dave, I think you're talking about the railroad that served the Norfolk
area, known for some very small 2-8-4's, subject of a Prince(?)book.  I'm
reasonably certain that this was also Norfolk Southern.  I believe that
this has and will continue to cause confusion.  More than once I've seen
current media refer to the current road as Norfolk and Southern.

I believe, also, that there is a historical society for the prior NS, and
there isn't one yet for the current NS.  Correction is, as always, welcome.
