Harry,

 

Would you please contact me off-line at dave at dglambert.com to discuss the

Thanks,

"CR" means crew reported - 9:05 for the train crew; 8:35 for the engine
crew.

"X" - Express

"M" - Mail

"R" - RPO (Railway Post Office)

"DH" - Deadhead

"PB" - Passenger & Baggage (a.k.a. combine)

"P" - Coach

 

Dave:

Probably the only other N&W consist I have is from "The Lady Bird Special"

which operated Petersburg - Norfolk - Suffolk - ACL in October, 1962.  It
isn't

handy, but I'll try to retrieve it.

 

During my tenure on the Jacksonville Terminal, I kept the "Dope Sheets".
These

were mimeographed sheets distributed to employees showing inbound trains

and switching instructions.  It was published 3 times daily.  It's offered
here to show

that N&W equipment some times went far afield.

Incidentally, did anyone note the engineer assigned to No. 21 on Aug. 20 '63
? 

Frank -- I've never seen any "signal 98's" at the archives, but that doesn't

mean they aren't there.
