NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 36, Issue 8

[NW Mailing List]

For info about NS research cars 31, 33, 34, 36 and 37 that was current at the time see my Nov. 18, 2006, May 13, 2007 and Aug. 19, 2007, messages in the Mailing List archives.

As an update, NS 31 was removed from the Virginia Museum of Transportation some months ago and placed back into service by the NS R&T Dept., but it is scheduled to be retired again soon.  Regarding the recently seen NS 33 and 34 research cars and NS 5408 loco, the 34 had a cab installed at Juniata Shops along with modern instrumentation and it and the 33 were repainted.  The newly painted GP38-2, NS 5608, is assigned to the research train (NS 33 and 34).
