Any Milk Trains on the N&W?

[NW Mailing List]

Mark,

I have never known of dedicated milk cars or milk trains in N&W service. 
N&W did handle dairy products in express service on regular trains, 
including those on the Shenandoah Division.  I have a photo of mixed train 
#14 in Hagerstown on the last day of steam operations, and there is a 
baggage wagon in the picture loaded with milk cans.  There has also been a 
1957 photo published in one of the magazines of a wagon load of milk cans at 
Roanoke station.
