VGN renumberings

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Where were trains 71 and 72 located?  Before the merger with the  Virginian 
Railway, N&W trains 71 and 72 were local freight between Lynchburg  and Durham. 
After the merger, the Durham District trains were renumbered 47  and 48 so 
not to be confused with the VGN 71 and 72.  I'm still on the  steep part of the 
learning curve when it comes to Virginian Railway  history.

Those VGN nuts are going to lay you low for this.   EL2b's were 125 etc re 
numbered to 225 etc.

They lasted until the  last.  When I left in 1964 they were frequent power on 
71 and  72.
