Emailing: Shenandoah Div excursion 1956

[NW Mailing List]

Rick:
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
For those curious as to why the B&O would have used "FA-2s" on the  
excursion, they had some steam generator equipped dual service A and B  units.  If 
that's indeed what B&O used in this instance, I suppose  technically we 
should say "FPA-2s" but the more important thing is thanking Rick  for sharing 
with us!

Photo of Shenandoah Division 1956 excursion on  interchange track at 
Shenandoah Jct on its return trip.  After the  N&W power and the combine cut off, 
the B&O FA2's coupled up to take  the train east.  The steam locomotives 
with the combine backed to the  N&W main and headed north to Hagerstown after 
the excursion cleared.   The photo is from a collection I purchased recently.
