I grew up with our back porch 100 yards from the N&W mainline 40 miles east of Cincinnati,OH which in those pre-merger days was the western terminus of the N&W. I remember the J's bringing the Powhatan Arrow through my back field, class A's and later pevler blue diesels and cabooses. That beautiful late steam was a glory to behold. My cousins lived in Williamson, WV so I certainly got a huge dose of the N&W as a kid. Today I consider myself lucky to have been so close to the twilight of steam in America, although even as an avid railfan I was too young to realize what was playing out before my eyes. My modeling today centers on trying to recreate the N&W, but in the mountainous Pocahontas Division which I remember from many visits to family over in coal country.
