Norfolk Southern and the North Carolina Transportation Museum have announced the daily schedule for the display of the Norfolk Southern Heritage Locomotive fleet at the museum in Spencer, N.C., on July 3 and 4.

A vintage F7 locomotive in Southern Railway’s “tuxedo” paint scheme, a Heritage locomotive in Pennsylvania Railroad livery, and Norfolk Southern’s Exhibit Car will represent Norfolk Southern’s past, present and future at the National Train Day celebration.

Alabama, known for college sports, beaches, and space camp, among other things, will never be the same once Brainy, a giant, wide-eyed pink walking brain, arrives.

Norfolk Southern lowered the railroad operating speed limits on certain sections of the Michigan Line between Dearborn and Kalamazoo that handle both Amtrak’s passenger service and Norfolk Southern’s freight service.  These lower speed limits have been imposed to reflect the maximum safe operating speeds for the line, given the line’s condition. Safety is of paramount importance in both passenger and freight rail operations.

At a dedication ceremony, Norfolk Southern named its new yard office building in Williamson, after the late John William (Bill) Fox, Jr., who retired from Norfolk Southern as senior vice president coal services in 2003 after a 35-year career with the company.
