Norfolk Southern/Union Pacific news: I still have family working for the Norfolk Southern; from what I'm told, the NS is shuttering up their Atlanta's HQ's and we can just about guess where operations will be moved to. If the merger pans out, Omaha is my guess.

On a Personal Note

Who would've thought that two-big southern railroads i.e.; the Norfolk & Western Railroad and the Southern Railroad, (aka Norfolk Southern) both Civil War era veteran lines, would form an Atlantic to Pacific coast partnership with the Union Pacific Railroad. I always thought the leadership styles were a mile apart. As a former N&W man, I loved to work the transfer runs (deliver & pull) going to the different railroads here in Chicago. When at the CB&Q yard, then BN, our N&W trainmasters were always calling the BN trainmasters/yardmaster trying to hurry us/train out of the yard. At that time, the N&W still tried to employ their plantation style attitude of management directed towards the management of various other railroads. The BN didn't take kindly to being told how to run their railroad, and as a result, the yardmaster being annoyed, would hold us even longer in getting our train out. My, times have changed!

Rail Relics Todays' goal is to make this website a pleasant and recurring place for every person who enjoys reading about the history of our railroads, and also enjoy collecting railroad memorabilia. For all sales and payment information, please refer to my Payment page.
