This is the preview for our Heritage Series DVD "Early Norfolk Southern: 1987-1989."

During the last three years of the 1980s, the Norfolk Southern was still a holding company in control of the Southern Railway and the Norfolk & Western. Despite the two railroads being, on paper at least, separate entities, their motive power rosters were being repainted into the unified N.S. paint scheme. There were still plenty of locomotives yet to be painted, and many appear in this show.

This DVD features the former Southern Railway St. Louis Line in and around Centralia, Illinois, with a side trip east through Indiana.

Plenty of older power is seen, both in Norfolk Southern paint and in the schemes of the Southern and the N&W. Older models include GP30s, GP35s, GP38s, SD40s and C30-7s. The newest power of the period also appears, the SD60s, running long hood forward.

Cabooses were in use on most of the trains during this period, and the trains are loaded with cars from lines that are fallen flags today.

The DVD runs 1 hour and 49 minutes.
