IN ROANOKE, the Norfolk & Western Railway designed and built America's most advanced steam locomotives.
Come experience the only remaining examples of the N&W's legendary success at the Virginia Museum of Transportation: the N&W Class A 1218 and the Class J 611. In our Rail Yard, explore historic steam and diesel engines, cabooses, and other rail equipment as modern trains rumble past. Inside the Museum, enjoy model trains, hands-on exhibits, and stroll among our antique automobiles, and truck and bus exhibits.
The cosmetic restoration of the N&W Bicentennial locomotive 1776 is complete, and it will return to the Museum on the Fourth of July. Please enjoy other restored exhibits, such as N&W ALCO C-630 1135 and the N&W Safety Car 418.
