GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate the history of Norfolk and Western Railway with a T-shirt inspired by its distinctive place in American railroading. From Virginia roots dating to 1838, N&W grew through generations of mergers into a broad network centered in Roanoke. Its coal trains, Roanoke-built steam locomotives, and landmark ties with neighboring railroads continue to fascinate collectors and enthusiasts. A classic way to show appreciation for a historic railway whose story became part of the Norfolk Southern legacy.
Norfolk and Western Railway, commonly called the N&W, grew from a network of more than 200 railroad mergers between 1838 and 1982. Its earliest predecessor was the City Point Railroad, formed in Virginia in 1838. 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 established its long-running headquarters in Roanoke, Virginia, and developed a major coal-hauling network. It built its own steam locomotives and hopper cars at the Roanoke Shops. In December 1959, it merged with longtime rival Virginian Railway. By 1970, mergers that included the Nickel Plate Road and Wabash had expanded its system across a broad area of the eastern and central United States. In 1980, N&W joined Southern Railway operations 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, the two railroads merged to form today's Norfolk Southern Railway.
