GRAND TRUNK AND WESTERN NO. 6328

In this photograph No. 6328, a mighty 1-8-4 on the Grand Trunk Western, is stopping to take water at Pontiac, Michigan, early one evening in 1958. At that time, most of America's railroad mileage was already operated by diesel-electric locomotives, but the G.T.W., the American subsidiary of Canadian National Railways, continued to wheel tonnage with steam engines. The G.T.W. was even pulling smoke-plumed commuter trains daily in and out of Detroit, right past the headquarters of General Motors, builder of most diesel engines. In fact, the "Trunk" seemed to be so firmly committed to steam in those Days that it occas-ionally borrowed coalburners from the Illinois Central and Burlington roads to keep its freight and passenger trains rolling. In 1960 it finally joined the diesel parade.

NORFOLK & WESTERN NO. 117

In 1919, when the Norfolk & Western railroad found that it needed longer and heavier passenger trains, it ordered ten mighty 4-8-2, or Mountain, type engines to haul them at high speed in the mountain Districts. One 4.8-2 was No. 117 shown here with the Winston Salem local at the Roanoke, Virginia, station. All ten Mountains were equipped with streamlined shrouds as much for appearance as to combat wind resistance. Although Brooks Locomotive Works  built all this lot. Nos. 116-125, the Norfolk & Western had its own locomotive-building shops, as did a few other railroads. These turned out modern coalburning iron horses until 1952. For several years after the American railroad industry as a whole had dieselized, the Norfolk & Western, located in one of the nations richest coal fields, was known as the last big stronghold of steam power in the United States. Eventually even the N. & W. followed the national trend by scrapping its "steamers"' in favor of diesels.
