Description
The NW 518 644 C31P model caboose restored on the Backstreet of downtown West Jefferson, North Carolina. Built in 1971, NW 518 644 was in service for 33 years and traveled throughout the entire Norfolk and Western network. After retirement, it was purchased by a businessman in Bristol, Tennessee where it spent 11 years before being moved to West Jefferson, North Carolina. Restoration was completed due to the generosity of local citizens and contractors, who donated cash, materials, and labor. The caboose has been painted in the Pelver blue color theme that dominated the Norfolk & Western railroad between 1963 and 1972.
