Show your appreciation for a distinctive railroad story with this Norfolk and Western Embroidered Dad Cap Hat. The railway’s roots reach back to 1838, while its 1881 name and Roanoke base became closely tied to Virginia rail history. N&W opened the Pocahontas coalfields, built steam locomotives at its Roanoke Shops, and carried its story into a changing national rail system. Wear it on a casual outing, at a railfan meet, or as a considered choice for a collector of classic railway memorabilia.
The Norfolk and Western Railway, commonly known as the N&W, grew from railroads dating to 1838 and was formed through more than 200 mergers between 1838 and 1982. In 1870, the Norfolk and Petersburg, South Side, and Virginia and Tennessee railroads combined as the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad. Reorganized and renamed Norfolk and Western in 1881, the company was headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia, for most of its existence. Its expansion opened the Pocahontas coalfields and made coal its primary commodity. The railway built steam locomotives and hopper cars at its Roanoke Shops; in 1960 it became the last major U.S. railroad to end regular steam locomotive use. It merged with longtime rival the Virginian Railway in 1959. Later acquisitions, including the Nickel Plate Road and Wabash, extended its reach across the Midwest. In 1980, N&W and Southern Railway joined under the Norfolk Southern Corporation holding company. Southern Railway was renamed Norfolk Southern Railway in 1982, and N&W came under its control. In 1986, N&W merged with Southern Railway to form today’s Norfolk Southern Railway.
