It's New Year's Day, and we're bringing in 2025 with some Pevler Blue as NS's Norfolk & Western heritage locomotive leads NS train 224 up to MP 258 at Missouri City on the joint NS Kansas City District - BNSF Brookfield Sub. The train will work Voltz Yard near Birmingham, MO first, setting out the stacks on the head end and autoracks on the rear end. The "town cars", a block of manifest in the middle, will be taken to NS's Avondale Yard in North KC.
The "Pevler Blue" name for this scheme began when Herman H. Pevler became president for the N&W following the merger with the Wabash, and this scheme, which basically was the Wabash scheme, was then adopted. Here on former WAB/N&W territory, this engine is right at home, still following the flag all these years later after the names have changed. 1/1/25.
