FW: Cab Signals on N&W FM Trainmasters at Lamberts

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Thanks for the clarification, Larry Crocker.  Now I need some  help
. . . . . .bad.  In Lamberts Point nomenclature, what were the
crews named that scavenged the yard to bring the RIGHT cars
of coal to the hump for dumping ?   Were there any  assignments
called "trimmer" crews ?  Most of the people here in Roanoke
aren't that acquainted with Norfolk and can't give me an answer.
 
The EPA would certainly have had a field day at Lamberts Point.
The FM shoving to the retarder  yard would occasionally pause  and
be obscured by exhaust.  One afternoon an engineer with two
ex-NKP RSD-12's failed to get a cut to the barney yard.  The  Road
Foreman, Mr. Kelly, went over to help him out.  They got the  coal
to the barney yard . . . . .and turned the weather report from sunny
to mostly cloudy.
