Welch, WV - 6/11/20 - a photo on Flickriver

            I would imagine N&W Y6A 2156 had visited these rails thousands of times during her storied career. She is seen leading 1 boxcar westbound over the Tug Fork River in Welch, WV on the Pokey. 

In reality, after a 5-year lease to the Virginia Transportation Museum in Roanoke, N&W Y6A 2156 was on the move back to the National Transportation Museum in St. Louis. Built by the Roanoke shops back in 1942, the huge 2-8-8-2 makes one final trip over her home rails & familiar territory.  This is a composite of 2 photos.
