That is probably No. 9,  at one time scheduled from Monroe to Bristol, but
later cut back to Roanoke to Bristol. Southern handled the head end traffic
Monroe - Washington with a scheduled connecting  train, but no passengers.  

N&W appeared before the State Commerce Commission and filed for dis-
continuance of Nos. 9 and 10 citing lack of passenger ridership and the head end
traffic was transferred to other Monroe-Bristol trains. 

On holidays, students at the girls schools in Bristol depended on No. 10  to
forward them to Roanoke to connect with No. 2 to get home.   Delayed by
heavy Christmas head-end traffic, N&W would hold No. 2 until a connection
could be made with No. 10.                                    Harry Bundy
