Appreciation Run

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The NRHS convention in Bristol in 1960 was indeed Labor Day weekend. It also featured a trip from Bristol to Johnson City over the Southern and then on to Kingsport over the Clinchfield. The Clinchfield portion was behind steam, but not N&W steam.

This is probably the trip on the branch from the NRHS Convention held 
at Bristol in 1960. I don't have an actual schedule at hand but the 
conventions were normally held Labor Day weekend in that era.
