Unidentified N&W Conductor on Rear Platform

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

C. H. -

The Association of American Railroads used a lot of publicity photos from 
various railroads, and to avoid any controversy they airbrushed all 
identifiable road names and replaced them with East and West Railroad.

I don't know why nobody ever modeled the E&W.  Just think of the roster you 
could have . . .
