N&W vs. ACL

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

"Dick told Ed that the N&W  had never merged with the Motive  Power
Department."
 
Gee, Dick, I wonder if Mr. Dunlap knew that Mr. Bradley was in the room  ?
You see, Harvey had a brother, H. C. Bradley (a.k.a. "Speedy") that  was
Roundhouse Foreman - Motive Power Dept. - Lamberts Point.   Unlike
Harvey (a UVA grad as I recall), "Speedy" had graduated from the  College
of Hard Knocks.  He served an apprenticeship at Island Yard,  Lynchburg,
then ended up in Norfolk.  Mr. Dunlap's System Operation Center sent  "Speedy"
all the "red-headed step children" to maintain-- RS3's, the ex-NKP  RSD12's,
P&WV's H20-44's, and, of course, the sparkling ex-VGN  H16-44's.
                                                
"Speedy" was on duty when N&W made a test run with the Class J to
Lynchburg.  As had been past practice, when the 600 stopped at  Lynchburg,
he held his hammer and took a whack at those vanadium rods.   Several
people from the Motive Power Department riding the test train had to  be
revived.
