With coal load Norfolk Southern Railkway (boxcar red). Of course we are talking about the original Norfolk Southern. This NS ran from Norfolk, Virginia south into North Carolina, then west to Raleigh, Durham, Fayetteville, and finally Charlotte. In comparison, this NS was a bit bigger than the Monon. The line was puchased by Southern Railway in 1974 and combined with another subsidiary the Carolina and Northwestern under the NS name. In 1981, they changed the name to Carolina \u0026amp; Northwesten so Southern and N\u0026amp;W could use the Norfolk Southern name for their new merger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eReady-to-run cars\u003cbr\u003eDie cast slope sheet center sills\u003cbr\u003eInjection molded bodies\u003cbr\u003eApplied brakes and air lines\u003cbr\u003eCoal loads\u003cbr\u003eBody-mounted magnetic knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
