<DIV>I recall that in the 1940s Train # 5 came through Pulaski on its way
from Roanoke to Bristol every morning. It was due in Pulaski at 9:27 AM
according to the 3/16/46 Timetable that I have (Table #7), but it was invariably
late because it made numerous stops between Roanoke and Pulaski in order
chiefly to pick up/drop off mail and milk. I always considered it to be a "milk
train." For the fun of it, as a train-loving teenager I once took the train
from Pulaski to Bristol and back on a nice summer day - probably in 1943 or 44.
My recollection is that it seemed to stop at <EM>every </EM>town and
made flag-stops too. But my recollection also is that the train, early in
the 40s, was numbered <EM>9</EM>, not 5. My memory, however, is open to
question.</DIV>

<DIV>At one point, the Pet plant in Abingdon was loading a 70-foot
express car in downtown Abingdon which was picked up by the Abingdon Branch
train and taken to Bristol to go east on #42. I have several photos of
the "V-C" coming into Bristol with this car head out in the train.</DIV>
<DIV>Maybe someone can shed more light on this movement . . . </DIV>

<DIV>Presumably, if there weren't any large-scale milk producers on
the system, there wouldn't be any reason for a milk train originating
on the N&W.</DIV>

>> Mark,

>> I have never known of dedicated milk cars or milk trains in N&W
service. N&W did handle dairy products in express service on regular trains,
including those on the Shenandoah Division. I have a photo of mixed train #14
in Hagerstown on the last day of steam operations, and there is a baggage wagon
in the picture loaded with milk cans. There has also been a 1957 photo
published in one of the magazines of a wagon load of milk cans at Roanoke
station.
