Thanks Abram, I really enjoyed the ex Virginian units at Lamberts Point.  That's where the N&W sent old locos to die.

After the VGN merger, N&W consolidated coal dumping at Lamberts Point. About oneof every three eastbound coal drags terminated at Sewells Point and the coal wastransferred to Lamberts Point when needed.  Some of the VGN FMs were used to makethe transfer.  The VGN FMs had an exhaust problem that had caused some right-of-wayfires.  At the roundhouse was a board and each FM was classified as a SMOKER ora NON-SMOKER.    Only the Non-Smokers were allowed to power the SewellsPoint Turns.
