N&W office framed wall scenery pictures

[NW Mailing List]

I don't have a full list, but I'm sure one of the pictures in question is 
entitled "A Norfolk and Western Train Load of "Fuel Satisfaction" In 
Virginia" featuring Y6b numer 2173 is one of them.  It shows double track 
along a river bank, and I would guess that it is hand tinted.  This one came 
from an office in southern Ohio, perhaps Portmouth.
