Combine #1506

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

I rode on the 1506 last Saturday, (7/15/06) as it was pulled from one end  of 
Spencer to the other.  It looks good. Obviously someone has  spent a lot of 
time on it.  An automated wheel chair lift has been  installed at the baggage 
door.  Inside the coach compartment, most of the  seats on one side have been 
removed and "tie-downs" downs for wheel chairs have  been installed.  The other 
side of the compartment still has coach  seats.  The automated chair lift is 
an improvement over the hand cranked  lift that had been used.  As one of the 
crew pointed out to me as we waited  to start our little ride, they get a lot 
of grandparents there.

How did the 1506  come to belong the NC Transportation Museum?  It used to 
belong to the  Old Dominion Chapter of the NRHS.

At this time the  entire set of passenger cars owned by the Roanoke chapter 
of the NRHS resides at  Spencer.  Apparently the Museum  
Has worked out an  agreement to store the set for the chapter, I had heard 
that the chapter lost  the track space they were using to store the set.
