N&W Clocks

[NW Mailing List]

Brian

The standard clock for stations and offices on the N&W was the Seth 
Thomas No. 2 regulator.  The N&W never marked the dial or the clock in 
any way.  About the best thing you can find is a shipping tag on a clock 
that was repaired and sent back to the original location.  I have one 
sent from Ranikn Jewlers in Roanoke to Burkville, VA.  We have one at 
the Archives Building that hung in Jack Fishwick's office when he was 
president.  Not marked but I know the history where it went after his 
office.

The only road that I know of that had their own clock repair facility 
was the AT&SF.  They used the Seth Thomas school house type clock in 
many of their locations.  The dial was marked Santa Fe Railway System 
over Standard Clock.  Seth Thomas was just above the number 6 on the 
dial.  They were the only road that I know of that marked their clock 
dials in this manner.  There had to be other roads that marked some dials.
