May 29th thru June 1st the North Carolina Museum of Transportation hosted Streamliners at Spencer. 26 vintage streamlined diesels from across the country gathered at the museum. Special operations with these engines included: Photo Freight, Passenger trains, and a power parade. I attended the night session on the 30th, then all day on Saturday the 31st, and part of the day on Sunday. This video features all 26 locomotives that attended. Enjoy!!! Many thanks to Norfolk Southern and NCTM!
