This
50' gondola with Bettendorf trucks was built in 1965 and converted
to be used in scrap auto service. Founded in 1982 through the
mergers of Norfolk & Western and the Southern Railway, Norfolk
Southern grew further in the late 1990s with the acquisition of
just over half of the trackage and assets of Conrail Corporation.
Today, NS is one of the largest Class 1 Railroads with over 30,000
employees and operates nearly 22,000 miles of track in the Eastern
and Midwestern United States.
