N&W E2a 578 double header in New York Times?

[NW Mailing List]

The last run of 5 and 6 might have very well taken place on April 4, 1959, but the run had been dieselized for some months before.  By the Spring of 1959, most if not all of the water stations on the Clinch had been eliminated, and neither of these engines has an auxiliary tank, meaning that they had to get water somewhere even with the 18,000 gallon tenders.  I still vote for the NRHS 1957 Convention.

Roger,

                This is the last run of train #5&6 over the Clinch Valley District which took place on April 4, 1959.

Interesting article and video about New York photograph collection and working with google to digitize.

If you watch the video, there is a image of N&W E2a 578 on a bridge with a double header (at 1:02). I wasn't able to find any 578 double header images in the NWHS online collection.

Anybody recognize this location or excursion? Was the image ever used by the New York Times?
