<div dir="ltr">As a charter member of the society, and one whose experience with the N&W began in the 1940's, I welcome the idea of including NS material in the Arrow. While I prefer steam, I realize that N&W had diesels longer than my experience
with steam. And they were N&W locomotives. Today's NS diesels run on lines that used to be N&W, so I keep up with them, as I consider them to be the present generation of "N&W power." Thanks Stephen and Michael for your comments. N&W history did not end when
it became part of Norfolk Southern.</div>

content out of interest in what preceded the present situation. The same may hold true for our society.
