Last Week/Day of Steam on the N&W

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

All - I am trying to gather some information concerning the last few
days of steam on the N&W (assuming this would all have been in
Williamson).  Aside from the fact that the #2190 made the last mainline
run (Pigeon Creek shifter) and the #291 worked the last yard job in
Williamson, does anyone know how much has been documented about those
actual jobs?  I'm thinking of such specifics as crew members, train
orders for the shifter, etc.

I've been wondering about other related trivia such as: Is there any
information on the specific motive power that performed those same jobs
the following day?  Is there any similar information concerning the last
days that steam worked the other jobs out of Williamson (ie, Kermit
Shifter, Chattaroy Shifter, etc.)?  Does anyone know if diesels took
over directly after the K1's on the Kenova District local (I realize
this would have been before 1960), or if some other steam power have
worked the local for some period of time (or maybe leased ACL/RF&P E
units? - just kidding)?

Thank you in advance for your help.
