Cylinder valve

[NW Mailing List]

I misinterpreted the description and had not seen a picture of the valve. 
Please disregard my remarks about bypass valves.

>> Last night I had the pleasure of "Takin' Twenty" with six of the

>> Brethren and Friends of the Virginian Railway. I told them of the

>> pre-construction meeting we had Tuesday with the contractors and all

>> involved, concerning the beginning of Phase I construction, toward

>> restoration of the Virginian Passenger Station and Depot in Roanoke. The

>> contract is in place with G&H Contracting of Salem, VA and their

>> abatement work to remove asbestos and lead from the site is scheduled to

>> start next Monday. Our meeting ended on the site, and I turned over keys

>> to the security fence and building to G&H. We will have an official

>> press release/groundbreaking March 7, 2012 at 11 AM, at the Station, and

>> all of you are invited to attend!

>>

>> Passed out to the Brethren were copies of the latest N&W(and VGN)

>> Historical Society "The Arrow" magazine. This issue's cover has a

>> panorama shot of a coal train rounding the "S" curve at Herndon,WV when

>> the town was being build. This issue is mostly VGN stuff with "The

>> Electric VGN, Part 2", as the lead. Yours truly contributed page 4 and 5

>> with an article and two photos (one of mine and one from the Archives)

>> about the old barn at Kumis and what it has seen over the years. "Tied

>> to the Past" is the re-occurring feature that looks back, sort of like

>> my "Jewels from the Past" in these reports.

>>

>>>From the N&WHS Archives work session last week, I was given two files

>> found by our good friend Harry Bundy, who is organizing our "receiving

>> warehouse area". The first is a 1934 file about the consideration of

>> Unification of Facilities by VGN. Considered was the combining of

>> Passenger and Freight Stations of the N&W and VGN in Roanoke. After much

>> study, the report concluded: "The Virginian Railway has two inbound and

>> two outbound passenger trains per day; the four trains either

>> originating or terminating in Roanoke. All of these trains would have an

>> increased movement of approximately two miles in reaching the N&W

>> Passenger Station, and the expense of this additional train haul would

>> exceed the small saving to be secured under consolidation". The Freight

>> Station consolidation study yielded "no saving in expense would result

>> therefrom". The second file passed around was about "switching of

>> passenger cars($10 fee) by the Tidewater Railway between Norfolk and the

>> Jamestown Exposition Grounds in 1907. Tidewater Railway was the only

>> "horse in town" to the Jamestown Exposition.

>>

>>>From The Roanoke Times" 2/13/12 "100 Years Ago Today": "Efforts of

>> police have been unavailing in their attempt to clear the mystery

>> surrounding the death of John S. Burnett, Special Agent for the

>> Virginian Road, who was found last night...as the last breath was

>> leaving his body". This prompted the Brethren to recall several VGN

>> Special Agent stories. Glen McLain told of a bank robber in Lynchburg

>> once trying to carjack a VGN "cinder dick" who arrested him.

>>

>> I showed the Brethren a Norfolk Southern news release "NS pens deal with

>> Dynamic fuels and Mansfield Oil". NS is the first fleet user in US to

>> deploy clean renewable diesel fuel. NS has been using a 100% Dynamic

>> Fuels renewable diesel at Meridian, MS rail yard this year.

>>

>> The Jewel from the Past is from 11/24/05: "'Cornbread' Victory told of

>> flagging trains in South Yard for the incoming VGN #4 Passenger Train

>> that got into Roanoke about 4:30 PM each day. He said coal trains would

>> cut off their cabooses and let them roll by gravity down the Main Line

>> to the cab track (just north of the Main Line). Near 4:30 PM, if a cab

>> was moving toward the cab track, lighted fusees were placed by the Main

>> Line, so #4 would know that a cab was ahead. He said on occasion, #4's

>> engine would 'toot-toot' and give the cab a little push. He would run

>> ahead and quickly throw the switch to the cab track back to the Main, so

>> #4 could continue on to the Station. Now that's real railroadin'".

>>

>> Then there's this: A blond decided to go ice fishing. She cut a hole in

>> the ice and dropped in a line. Shortly, a strong voice said: "There's no

>> fish under this ice". She reluctantly moved and cut another hole in the

>> ice, and got the same voice again: "There's no fish under this ice".

>> Frustrated, she looked up and answered the voice, "Are you God?" "No,

>> I'm the manager of this skating rink!"

>>

>> Time to pull the pin on this one!
