<DIV align=left> When passenger train No. 1 pulled into the
station yesterday afternoon the people gathered there noticed that it was drawn
by a large locomotive of the Pacific type. The engine is one of those
which are used on trains 25, 26, 41 and 42 and is a type of passenger engine
such as is used on many fast passenger trains on some of the big roads in the
country.</DIV>

<DIV align=left>[<EM>Train No. 1 was a Lynchburg to Welch local, and trains 25,
26, 41 and 42 were Southern Railway trains handled by the N&W between
Lynchburg and Bristol. The N&W had 20 Class E and E1 4-6-2 Pacific's
delivered 1905-1907, so these must have been the regular engines on passenger
trains through Bluefield prior to this newspaper article. The "big"
Pacific mentioned in the article must have been one of the larger E2 Pacific's
delivered in February and March 1910 according to Jeffries' book on N&W
steam.</EM>]</DIV>
