Mail Train Operation Was... Re: Anyone know what train this is?

[NW Mailing List]

And while we are on this (to me) interesting discussion:  Didn’t No 15, the
westbound Cavalier, also make a similar stop at Radford, then reverse back
to Walton and the main line during the period or earlier?

This probably falls into the silly question area, but....

Most of the photos I have seen show these trains in the mountains.   So did
they start from the East with a smaller number of headend cars and pick up
& drop off others on the way, or were cars loaded & unloaded as needed at
various stops?

Thanks,
