Train Numbers

[NW Mailing List]

A correction to my previous post please -- in 1949, when Nos. 9 + 10
operated to Kemper Street Station - Lynchburg,  No. 10 became
Southern Railway's No. 142 at Montview  Tower, Lynchburg, where
the train transferred from N&W to Southern.  This was to avoid  a
duplication in Southern train numbers.  Nos. 9 and 10 were  Southern's
Skyland  Special.  Southward, No. 141 became N&W's  No.9 at 
Montview.  Southern Railway timetables indicate that Nos.  141-142
operated Montview to Washington, but for Bristol line passenger en
route to D.C., there was a 10 hour 50 minute layover in Roanoke
(if they didn't transfer to the Birmingham Special).   Westbound, 
No. 9 laid over for 3 hours 10 minutes.
