help identify some N&W freight cars from 1934

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

I haven't been accessing the archives lately, but previously (maybe 6 months
ago) I was not having any problems (56k modem).  I was mostly interested in
photos of boxcars to help with my modeling.  Since I was looking at each
picture anyway I just wrote down what they were and started my own index.
This is, of course, a long project due to the large number of photos that
are in the archives.

I've been to the VPI collection. I recently have been finding that
numerous of the links don't seem to work. I emailed the address there
about it, but have yet to receive a reply. Any ideas? Is it a work in
progress where some of the links may not actually be active yet? I was
looking for photos of some classes of locomotives to match up models I
have to specific prototypes for accuracy.

 The N&W photos are mostly at:
http://imagebase.lib.vt.edu/browse.php?folio_ID=/trans/nss
 organized into browsable subcategories. There is also a smaller
collection of World War I-era glass plate photos (probably taken as part
of the ICC Valuation of the N&W) at:
