Arrow cars ?

[NW Mailing List]

A good many of the lightweights have survived, a few still owned by NS, but most 
of the cars used in the steam program have been scattered far and wide. My guess 
is that the 1023 & 1024 are long gone; even if they perhaps went into MofW 
service after being retired, MofW uses far fewer railroad cars now than in 
former times. The 581 & 582 were reportedly scrapped in Saudi Arabia (although 
there are a faithful few who refuse to believe it). Jim Brewer may come close to 
being able to tell where the survivors are, as he worked up a passenger car 
roster several years ago.

Jim;
 
How many of the cars are still in existance? And is there a site that shows 
where they are?
 
Regards,
Russ Goodwin

Most (if not all) of the 15 PM coaches received the logo in June 1946, as did 
the DE diners 1023 & 1024. After delivery of the 1949 train, the logo was 
removed from all these cars. The 1949 train, coaches 501 &502, 511 & 512, 
531-540, observations 581 & 581 and diners 491 & 492 all were built with the 
logo. 581 & 582 apparantly kept it until their retirement in 1958 and subsequent 
sale to Saudi Arabia. In time, it was eventually removed from all the other 
cars.

    Is there a record of how many of N&W's passenger cars were blazoned with the 
Powhatan Arrow logo?
