My photos of NS 1069:
Virginian
Railway (NW, EMD) was the only railroad created through the capital and
credit of one man, oil magnate Henry Huttleston Rogers. After building
a short line, the Deepwater Railway, to haul coal out of West Virginia
and then being blocked by the bigger railroads, he created another
railroad, the Tidewater Railway, to reach Norfolk, Va., then combined
the two into the Virginian in 1907. It was acquired by N&W in 1959.
