Anyone know what train this is?

[NW Mailing List]

Jim NIchols is correct about this being train 23.  This duplicate slide was sold in a set marketed by Al Chione.  I have the set and the list that came with the set identifies this as train 23.  The consist would look much like train 9.

  I agree with the description in the ebay listing. It is train 23, the all stops mainline local, and this is a typical consist. It is sometimes mistakenly identified as train 9 because it followed the Bristol line to a stop in Radford. But it then backed up to Walton and resumed its journey to Bluefield. The back up move was accompanied by a recurring air whistle from the rear vestibule. I know this because I rode it once.

  I have never seen anything on the idea of the N&W running a mail and express train but this shot has shown up on eBay so I have to ask... does anyone know what the identity (name... number?) of this train?  Really curious that it is heavy with head-end cars and only one coach.


  TIA
