Steam Engines

[NW Mailing List]

Before the S1's came (1950) there were a couple of class V 4-6-0's and a few W2 2-8-0's used as switchers.

 Hello Jack,
The N&W operated all of their major classes of steam engines in Norfolk in the 1940’s and 1950’s. 4-8-4 Class J’s and 4-8-2 Class K2/K2a’s on passenger trains. 2-6-6-4 Class A’s on time freights and coal trains. Numerous Y Class 2-8-8-2’s including the Y6b operated into Norfolk on local freights and coal trains. The 4-8-2 Class K1 also ran local freights into Norfolk. As for yard switchers the S1/S1a Class 0-8-0’s could be found around the Lambert’s Point yard and Norfolk passenger station. I believe some of the older Y Class 2-8-8-2’s and Z class 2-6-6-2’s could be found in Norfolk as well.

What types of steam engines would I have seen coming into Norfolk in the late 1940’s thru the 1950’s and what type of steam engines would have been used as switchers in the Lambert’s Point Yard during that time?  Thanks for your help.
