Hope you enjoyed this video taken in July of 1988. Its on the ex-Norfolk Western VIRGINIA & POCAHONTAS DIVISION. NS is in the final years of running and ordering locomotives that run long hood forward. Cabooses days are about done at this point, and days are numbered for the cabin, except on some mine runs because of backup moves. Manned helpers will continue for years to come. Probably by now, its DPU's but not sure, as I haven't been down there for years. If there is an interest, I probably have a enough material to but "PART II" up of long hood operation. By 1990 or 1991, it was hard to find long hood locomotives operating on the headend.
Thanks for watching...
This was filmed with my first VHS camera, and 1st of 30, two hour VHS tapes, so may be a little shaky at times since I still didn't have a tripod it this point in time.
Please be sure to check out my many other video clips from the 1970's up to today.
God Bless
