Norfolk Southern upgrades Exhibit Car
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefNorfolk Southern announced Wednesday that its upgraded Exhibit Car was ready to roll out of the Juniata Shops this week, “newly equipped with enhanced displays showcasing the railroad’s transportation network.”
A restored 1926 Pullman passenger car that was converted to a mobile museum in 1971, the car has 40 years of service as a rolling exhibit. It has been visited by an estimated 1.5 million people.
The car interrupted its tour schedule this summer for installation of high-definition monitors, digital players, a new audio system, and other upgrades. New backlit panels illustrate the variety of freight commodities Norfolk Southern moves across its 22-state network. A diorama brings added realism to a continuously running model train showing the types of railcars in the Norfolk Southern fleet for serving the diverse needs of the American economy.
