Norfolk & Western 300 Ocean
The above mentioned car will be joining the Little River Railroad on excursions in the near future. After residing in a warehouse in Pennsylvania she will be forwarded to Valparaiso In. for prep work and forwarded to Coldwater. She is an observation car and has her own Facebook group.

Some members of this board have been directly involved with this car's preservation and donation to the non-profit N&W 300 group. Very glad to see their hard work come to fruition!

RPCX 300 Q404 to Selkirk tomorrow, Q561 to Cincinnati next day and I believe J792 the following day to Lima Ohio. Then CF&E takes it to Valparaiso.

After the prep work is done in Valpo, the last hop before the INER (host of the Little River RR) will have to be via NS to Montpelier- that's the only place INER interchanges with anyone else.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 3:06 pmThen CF&E gives it off to INER?

Re: Norfolk & Western 300 Ocean
She made it to Valparaiso yesterday. CF&E 2135 let her run at track speed on the Ex'PRR and she just seem to float thru those small Indiana towns. Old US-30 follows along side most of the way so the chase was good and we got her secured.
