A Tribute To The Norfolk And Western

Here is a re-vamped, Re-edited version of my Norfolk & Western Tribute, Originally put together in May of 2020. This new re-vamped version also includes a high quality version of the incredibly hard to find N&W song "There's No Stopping Us" (more commonly known today as Cargo Movin' People) produced by the J. Walter Thompson Company in 1980 for the N&W as part of there "There's No Stopping Us" advertising campaign. It was originally made available on an Eva-Tone Soundsheet & distributed to N&W Employee's via the July 1980 Issue of the The Norfolk & Western Employee magazine. It was subsequently used in Marc S. Balkin's 1987 Program, Rail's To Roanoke.

Class A 1218 is my favorite engine from the N&W :)

Finally, we now have a remastered version of this song, and even though they’re gone, but LIVE ON THE NORFOLK & WESTERN!

So that’s the actual name of the song, but the question is that who sang it? I read somewhere that it’s C.W. McCall, but I’m not too sure. Also great music video! Plus it’s nice to hear a higher quality version of the song.

[@hudsontrainguy1217]

He’s the same guy who made The Silverton

In my own personal opinion, Norfolk & Western Class A 1218, Norfolk & Western Class Y 2156, and the song There’s No Stopping Us are nothing compared to Union Pacific Challenger 3985, Union Pacific Big Boy 4014, and the song Great Big Rollin Railroad.
