 Do you like the 1218 Steam Train???

Yes, of course! Together with the Y-6 this is the best quality articulated ever built!

1218 N&W - First off--->.

I had the pleasure of riding behind the 1218 from Richmond to Roanoke back in the late 80's (right after the rebuild).  It had a distinctive sound, and a real moan to it's whistle.  Too bad there are no Graham Claytors in the NS hierarchy any more.

1218 is amazing..I heard they wanted to put it behind the O Winston Link museum but there was'nt the room.

 What Happened to the 1218 N&W?

[fifedog]

Sitting near the 611 in Roanoke.

What a waste of two of the finest steam locomotives ever built and rebuilt.  Being from Pennsylvania, I still hold onto the possibility (dream) of them pulling horseshoe curve.

If NS only had the operating mentality of UP.

 What did they do with the 1218 N&W???

[VAPEURCHAPELON]

Who do you mean with "they" and what do you mean with "what did they do"? Do you could tell us your age? Do we have to do with a little Newbie?

[1218 N&W]

What does that mean????????????????? I'm 10 and I love trains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[steamfanatic]

I'm not sure what that meant either.

I believe it is in the Virginia Museum of Transportation.
