Is this an N&W train?

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Frank,

I have no clue as to the location of the photo.  However, B&O, C&O and GN 
used Vanderbilt style tenders that I am aware of; perhaps other roads did 
too.

On another list I participate on, there is frequent mention of N&W hoppers 
heading west over Sherman Hill on the UP; not long ago there was a photo in 
Classic Trains that showed a N&W hopper on the Milwaukee Road.

N&W hoppers were sent off-line loaded with some regularity; it would be 
interesting if some retired N&W employee could shed more light on this.  But 
the quality of the coal from the mines located on the N&W was in high 
demand.
