  • Discussion related to the Norfolk & Western, up to 1982. Also includes discussion of the Virginian Railway (1959); Wabash; Nickel Plate; Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway; Akron, Canton & Youngstown Raiload (all 1964); and the Illinois Terminal (1981).

X50027 was an NKP plow, mostly kept in the east.

It was noteworthy because although the NKP was primarily a single track RR, the X50027 was a single sided plow, designed to throw it's snow to one side only, as is customary for dual track lines.

Had a picture of it somewhere, freshly painted red.
