I've got one NKP story. Many years ago, the job I was working hauled an electric generator. The move was accompanied by a caboose that had been converted to a rider car, so an attendant could stay with the move. I got to talking with the rider. Seems he had been a locomotive engineer on the NKP. He retired early account of health problems, but a friend arranged for him to work these special moves whenever he wanted to go. He said he'd never forget when N&W took over NKP, "You walk into the new Super's Office; he'd just come over from N&W. First thing you saw as you walked in the door was a huge Confederate flag hanging on the wall directly behind him; next thing you'd notice was a brass plate on his desk facing you. It said, 'WE WON'"
