>> 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.
