The Norfolk and Western Class M2 was a class of 4-8-0 "Twelve-Wheeler" type steam locomotives that were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1910.

History[]

A total of 50 examples were constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1910, these locomotives were designed to haul freight trains and mostly coal trains.

Withdrawal of the class had occurred between 1950 and 1957 and all but two examples were scrapped.

Survivors[]

No. 1118[]

Main article: Norfolk and Western No. 1118.

No. 1118 was built in June 1910 and was sold to the Virginia Scrap Iron & Metal Co., Inc. for scrap in 1959, No. 1118 along with three other Norfolk & Western steam locomotives (Nos. 917, 1134, and 1151) and along with two Chesapeake Western diesel locomotives (Nos. 662 and 663) were left to rust in the scrapyard for over 40 years becoming known as the "Lost Engines of Roanoke."

In the 2000's all of the engines were slowly removed from the Virginia Scrap Iron & Metal yard to be brought to their new homes for preservation. No. 1118s time to be rescued had came on August 25, 2009, when it became the last steam locomotive in the yard, and the last known steam locomotive from a major railroad to be found in any U.S. scrapyard, to be removed and moved to its new home.

As of today, No. 1118 is currently owned by the Roanoke Chapter of the NRHS, but it has been moved to their maintenance facility at the 9th St. industrial park for a further cosmetic restoration.

No. 1134[]

Main article: Norfolk and Western No. 1134.

No. 1134 was built in 1910 and was retired in the 1950s, it sat in the Virginia Scrap Iron & Metal Company's yard (also known as the Lost Engines of Roanoke) until it was rescued some years later.

As of today, No. 1134 is now on static display at the Railroad Museum of Virginia in Portsmouth.
