<p dir="ltr">Ed, I'm really on the fence about this. I don't care about NS at all. However, with shrinking membership in the society, I'm open to ideas. The goal of the society is to maintain the history of N&W. I agree that embracing NS is a pretty drastic change, but, if it allows the group to continue, I see it as a possible viable option. </p>

forward! To that end we are soliciting articles
for the Arrow on NS topics. Preferential
priority will be given to submitted items that have some relation to the original
Norfolk & Western. For example, they
take place along the Pokey or some other original trackage, they involve ex-N&W
equipment or structures, etc. Please
submit your news/articles to the editor of the Arrow for publication.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Additionally, for all you Norfolk Southern modelers out
there, we are soliciting modeling articles and news on NS topics. If you are building or have built a model of a
Norfolk Southern item, please consider sending in an article describing your
process/results. Also, if you have news
about sources/availability of NS/NW items of interest to our modelers, please
submit that for publication as well.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">We have taken on a bit of a new direction to move our society
into the future and we need your support to keep us strong and make us great
again. Please help by submitting your
materials for our magazine.</p></div>
