   Yes it was owned and  operated  by the N&W. They cast just about anything
you can think of that they needed . I have a list of patterns for the foundry. List
some 38000 items.  Bells , Whistles, couplers, wheels ,center plates, stoves ,signs
number plates, builders plates ,  Light poles,  cylinders  list just goes on forever.
Not certain but probably was the last railroad  foundry in operation in the US.
