N&W heavyweight sleeping cars

[NW Mailing List]

I don't know if this is the first definitive evidence, but it is definitive 
including the brown roof, in my opinion.  I personally saw a tuscan N&W 
heavyweight Pullman about 1961 deadheading west on the headend of B&O train 
17 aka The Cleveland Night Express.  Don't know where the car was going as 
#17 split off cars at Cumberland for Grafton and Parkersburg, I think.  I do 
not know the name or the car type of what I saw, but it was lettered Norfolk 
and Western.
