N&W 60' Auto Parts cars

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

John;

According to my 1976 N&W Freight Car Equipment Guide, issued by the N&W Mechanical Department, the SP leased #600407-415 to the N&W. Those cars are listed in my 1980 edition, but are not listed in my 1984 Norfolk Southern Edition. (Listed below are more leased cars and their respective owners.) The 1976 NWFCEG shows them as "Box" under N&W Car Class, i.e. B110, C32P or H11a. Number series 600400-406 are shown as an empty number series There are no company drawings for any of the leased cars, and due to Morning Sun's 400 photograph limit, Jim Nichols' book does have a shot of one either.

#600416-422 - Union Pacific
#600423-425 - Western Pacific
#600426-430 - Milwaukee Road
#600431-447 - Louisville & Nashville
#600448-450 - Southern
#600451 - Open Number
#600452 - Western Pacific

Subject: N&W 60' Auto Parts cars

Hi Listers,

    I'm looking for information on N&W's 60' Auto Parts cars #'s 600400 to 600415.  Suposedly only nine known cars were part of the purchase.  My ORER from May 1983 doesn't list these cars any longer.  I'm told that this group of cars were bought used from the Southern Pacific.  My main question is were the cars originally painted in the blue scheme or black and did any make it to be Claytor brown.  Could they have been remembered before 1983?  I would appreciate any help with information or photos.

Thank you,  

John Hecker
