N&W Dynamometer Car

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The car was originally built by Roanoke Shops as per design of 
underframe, body and interior arrangement by the Motive Power 
Department. For some reason, 1917 comes to mind as the original 
construction date, but I will have to check further. The instruments 
were designed and installed by the Burr Company. The car was originally 
built with only one observation cupola, and numbered 4900.
