Well, folks, I may be slow, but the memory is still strong.   After several years of digging through the multiple storage units, I found the slide I mention way back in 2017.     OK, I admit I only get to storage every few months so it really was not 'years' of searching more like a few day spread over the years.  ;-)

Here is the slide.  It was from a Blackhawk set and taken by the wonderful gentleman H. Reid.

Enjoy.

Take care
Bill

Thanks Bill, I had seen photos of trains out of Petersburg with ACL coaches in the mix,  but I'd not seen any with foreign head end cars.

Can we post a copy of that photo here for the group?

One of the Blackhawk slides from back in the 1960s shows a 1950s N&W
passenger train with a purple-and-silver ACL baggage car.

Take care
