While the Norfolk & Western is best known for hauling black diamonds out of the hollers and hills of West Virginia it also had a modest, but very respectable fleet of passenger trains.
Its flagship run in later years was certainly the "Powhatan Arrow," a train that served Norfolk/Newport News and Cincinnati, Ohio. This train was pulled by perhaps the most beautiful and powerful 4-8-4 steam locomotives ever to enter service.
Accommodations included a tavern-lounge-observation, reserved coaches, full dining service, and coach-dormitory for the crew.
These handsome streamlined machines were adorned in a striking livery of Tuscan red and black with gold trim. The train operated until the spring of 1969 when the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) allowed the railroad to discontinue the "Arrow."
