Description
No. 1009, an E8A diesel locomotive was built in 1951 for passenger service on the Wabash railroad. The characteristic blue and silver nose on this engine earned it the nickname, "Bluebird". No. 1009 pulled such notable trains as the "Wabash Cannonball", "The City of St. Louis", and the "The City of Kansas City" during its time in service. Norfolk Southern donated No. 1009 to the Virginia Museum of Transporation in Roanoke, VA after it was retired in June 1967.
