Sleeping car service to New York

[NW Mailing List]

Jim Brewer stated: "Trains No.1/2, referred to as the Shenandoah Valley Route, provided through Pullman service between Roanoke and New York. Additionally, there was through coach service between Roanoke and Harrisburg.  The sleeper and through coach would be routed at Hagerstown via the Pennsylvania Railroad.  In April 1952 the Pullman was 10-6 or 10-1-1 per the Guide. Routing to New York on PRR was Hagerstown, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Trenton, Newark and New York."

Was the "10-6 or 10-1-1" ten sections or ten roomettes?  Were the "1-1" a drawing room and a compartment?

Thank you,
