Does anyone have a list of steam excursions operated by N&W in the
1950's that show the dates, places and locomotives used?
I'm currently working on some video with some of these trips but I
don't know any details of them.
For instance, I have footage of the following trips:

A double headed run on the Abingdon branch where part of the train
looks to be a work extra and part was the regular mixed with a couple
of rider gondolas attached.
Actually, the train wasn't a true double header in that the mixed,
with it's Mollie, is coupled behind the work train which had a
different Mollie on the point.

Another excursion with a K1 and also carrying rider gons on the back.
I think this one went to or from Bristol.

The doubleheaded excursion from Bluefield to Norton with Pacifics.

There are possibly others that I will find as I go through this film.

Thanks for any assistance.
