This photo of NW wrecker #514909 was posted in 2019. It was supposed to have been scrapped in 1957. Anybody know where it is and what's the story? https://www.facebook.com/groups/Abandon ... 4400898705 |

It looks that way, I found this thread here on RyPN of a crane in Norwich, but it is a different number, N&W 514908 (I am guessing it was a misreading of the number in the faceplant post): Build Number 2230 120ton W 1910 Norfolk & Western #4974 to 514908 Cost new $13,430 Roanoke Iron & Pipe, Roanoke, VA 03-21-81 (10-28-66?) Virginia Scrap Iron & Metal Co, Roanoke Va. ((Here 01-21-08?) (Now Saved for preservation, Jan 6th 2013) viewtopic.php?f=1&t=34294&hilit=Norwich |
