Bicentennial Excursion Train Images

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

I came across some old polariods of the N&W's Bicentennial Excursion
Train's stop in Pulaski, Va.  This excursion ran over the July 4,
1976 weekend.  The train is stopped in downtown Pulsaski, just past
the passenger station - and it was allowed to block the grade
crossings in town for some time if I remeber correctly.  The pictures
were taken from the south side of the tracks from the Rose's parking
lot - where the Maple Shade Inn used to be.
Behind engine no. 1776 you will see engine no. 173 - a former Virginian
Trainmaster.  I belive that this excursion train was the last time
that any of the former Virginian Trainmasters were run.
Hope you enjoy the images,
Toney Minter
