M #382 at Bristol

[NW Mailing List]

Ed,  Who was the engineer on 201/202 when you were at Bristol . . . Joe
McNew or Nichols? Does anybody have the exact date of the last steam run on
these trains?

Thanks,  John Garner

jack - 

I don?t know specifically about the 382, but there seems to have been a
general movement to relocate headlights on smaller power during the
mid-1950s.  I have pictures os several Ms at Bristol with the lowered
headlights.  I know that some M-2s were moved, as were the Clinch Valley
Pacifics, 563 and 578.  I never saw any official word on it.
