These were ex-Wab and after the merger in 1965. Never on N&W red passenger
trains or Sou run throughs pre 1965. .The N&W never purchased or ran dome
cars until after the NKP/WAB/PWV/ACY merger. They were ex-Wab, not original
N&W. They did run ex-WAB domes on the Powhatan Arrow and the Pocahontas
after the merger. I rode one on the "NEW" Pocahontas and later on
Amtrak's Mountaineer from Chicago to Narrows in 1976.
