The two months of 1954 that I was on the N&W's home-made weed spray train we sprayed everything east of Williamson and I understand a contractor sprayed everything west of Williamson.

I'll ask.  Does NS do that on its own, or have they contracted that out to someone like Corman?

No, I was the short boom operator on the right side of this spray car in 1954.  Incidentally, I plan to use this image in an article that I hope to finish some day about my summer jobs on the N&W.
