Hand tinted N&W photo

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks Jim. I appreciate your post re passenger operations as well. And your eye-witness recollections.

 

I also really appreciate your dad’s work every time I turn to a NW steam loco roster to look up information.  Have you ever written about why, when and how he compiled all this info? His sources?    Best,  John Garner

John: I can give some pre-1964 information on passenger operations on the Radford and Pocahontas divisions, having lived in sight of the Bluefield station from 1946 to roughly 1958 and living in Narrows from 1959 to 1964.

Rick, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge of N&W passenger equipment, consist, and operations on this list. I always read your post with interest. How long have you been studying details of N&W’s passenger operations? Have you studied all pre-1964 divisions?    John Garner

When the posting about the hand tinted photo by Bruce Fales at Shaffers Crossing appeared, I remembered my photo.  I bought this 11x14 print from Fales at a Gaithersburg railroadiana show about 1980.  N&W's presence in Hagerstown is significant because I was born there and have strong family RR connections with the WM.  I did grow up in sight of the N&W, so I have collected a lot of N&W images at Hagerstown.  This one of train 13 was dated August 31, 1947.  Notice Fales name heat stamped into the print just below the locomotive.  In his lifetime, he probably never dreamed how easy it would be to edit it out.
