Norfolk and Western 433

Steam and Early Locomotives

Norfolk and Western 433 is a preserved M class 4-8-0 Mastodon steam locomotive that the American Locomotive Company built at its Richmond Locomotive Works in January 1907. It was one of 125 M class engines that served the railway for around fifty years, first on mainline freight and passenger work and later on branch lines. It worked the steep, curving Abingdon branch known as the Virginia Creeper and switched yards at Roanoke, Salem, Radford and Bristol. Rebuilt after a wreck in 1951, it was withdrawn in 1958 as one of only two surviving M class engines apart from the Lost Engines of Roanoke. It was cosmetically restored in 2002 and stands on display along the Virginia Creeper Trail in Abingdon.
