NS Juniata Locomotive Shop - Photo Tour
Posted by NSDash9 on Sunday, September 18, 2016 3:59 PM
On Labor Day 2016, Norfolk Southern held an Employee Appreciation Day event for shop workers and family members at the NS Juniata Locomotive Shop in Altoona, PA. Some of the shop buildings were open for touring and some NS equipment was also on display. Marc Lingenfelter was able to attend and he took a group of over 100 photos, which I have put together on my NSDash9.com website.  Please take a look:

Nice tour. Thanks. I have toured EMD's McCook plant and back in the 50's PRR's Columbus OH roundhouse and other shops. This gives me a hope for my NS stock. Looks like NS is making use of the talent it inherited from the PRR. 

Any idea as to what percent of NS locomotives are equiped with cab signals?
