A Passenger Equipment Question

[NW Mailing List]

Abram,

You attribute too much to my railroad knowledge.  Inasmuch as I was not 
involved in any way with passenger equipment during my career with the 
N&W and NS, I really don't know the answers to your questions.  But, I 
assume that the air brake work that you question was done at the Coach 
Yard in Roanoke.
