Pevlar? PEVLAR?

Good heavens! If you're going to refer to the former president of the N&W you ought to know how to spell it.

>Thanks for the info. The few color images I've seen of this engine show it having an all Blue Paint scheme, with gold lettering. I've always known Norfolk and Western to have an all Black paint scheme. I'm assuming this Blue is from Nickle Plate. Did they ever repaint these engines to the all Black paint scheme?

No. NKP used black and yellow, with various variations of these two colors. The blue and gold you saw is the Pevlar blue that was adopted by the N&W not all that long after the take-over of the NKP and Wabash.

Here's one example of the Pevlar blue scheme, sorry that its a black and white shot.
