Viewing Norfolk Southern Railway covers the history of this railroad, beginning with the South Carolina Canal & Rail Road Company, which in 1830 operated the first regularly scheduled passenger train in the United States. Among the many railroads that became part of Norfolk Southern was the Pennsylvania Railroad, whose completion of the Horseshoe Curve in 1854 was an outstanding engineering achievement that transformed land transportation across Pennsylvania, contributing to the growth of the railroad. By 1882, it became the largest railroad in the world. Norfolk Southern's special painted locomotives, representing many of the railroads that became part of its heritage, are included in this book.

Beth Anne Keates, an industrious and dedicated historian, with the encouragement of her family, has had a lifelong interest in rail transportation and annually marches as Betsy Ross, leading the parade as a member of the Lansdowne Chapter, Daughters of American Revolution in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. Kenneth C. Springirth, 1962 graduate of Drexel Institute of Technology and author of over fifty books on streetcar and railroad lines, has a long interest in rail history as his father was a streetcar motorman in Philadelphia, and his grandfather was a streetcar motorman in Washington, D.C.
