N&W Dynamometer Car

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Ken has presented most of the information about this car. Today I was able 
to visit the archives and found this added information: it was built in 1919 
and the second cupola was added in February 1944.

The car was originally built by Roanoke Shops as per design of
underframe, body and interior arrangement by the Motive Power
Department. For some reason, 1917 comes to mind as the original
construction date, but I will have to check further. The instruments
were designed and installed by the Burr Company. The car was originally
built with only one observation cupola, and numbered 4900.
