Locomotive names

[NW Mailing List]

This ‘Spirit of Roanoke; thing  is a kick in the face to every one of us who loves 611 . It’s an insult to all the fine people 

who have worked  on the restoration . It’s a waste of the donors money . It clearly shows VMT has no integrity at all

when it comes to history . This is all about kissing up to some politician who probably won’t give them the time of day

anyway.  I am sure this warhorse stuff is more VMT spin or rebranding . Give them time I am sure they will come up with

some kind of sticker to put on 2156,  Every member of the N&WHS who does not like this should express there dislike to

Photoshop to the rescue, if need be.

Interesting thought Gordon. Also I can tell you this that 611 now has 'The Spirit of Roanoke' stenciled under her cab windows now. I have heard good and bad thoughts on this.

For a while when she was in the VMT the 611 had stenciled under the cab window, "Pride of Roanoke," and this elicited discussion both pro and con.

 

Now that Y6a 2156 has arrived in Roanoke, Saturday's local Roanoke newspaper had the headline, "'Warhorse' returns for engine reunion," and the article had the statement, "...the 2156 was nicknamed the 'Warhorse.'"

 

I wonder if we will see "Warhorse" stenciled under the cab window of the 2156.
