I'm an N&W pre-1964 type and seeing pages with Blue diesels, Horseys and the post 1964 era stuff has zero appeal to me. I'm ok with Virginian but modern NS articles and photos are a waste of my time and money. Current NS happenings have no business with N&WHS and there should be another NSHS to cover that. If something doesn't directly relate to the N&W Railway it shouldn't be presented in my opinion. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I'm afraid with the Omaha Group takeover I'm going to see my $60 dues giving me lots of yellow diesels and articles rather than what I want. That would cause me to drop out and I hate that thought.

The classic Norfolk and Western, in some views, has been gone since 1964. Some would say their interest ends in 1960, when the last steam locomotive was in revenue service.
