What's old is new—Wheeling & Lake Erie 1776 meets its inspiration—Norfolk & Western 1776, painted 50 years apart. Celebrating 250 years of independence is as much about where we've been as where we're headed!

Something special is going on in Spencer, North Carolina: a gathering of newly-painted locomotives from a bunch of different railroads and some surviving relics from the original 1976 photoshoot, now museum pieces.

Plenty of photo opportunities are planned through the weekend, and we hope to see you there!
