N&W Soutehrn passenger trains

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Frank,
 
Living in Lynchburg, I can't say with absolute certainty that mail cars  were 
NOT added or taken off of the N&W/Southern passenger trains here.   These 
trains left the Southern station and after leaving it behind for a few  miles, 
they switched over to N&W at the north leg of the Montview  wye.  They then went 
to the west leg of the Kinney (N&W) wye. As a  youngster, I spent much time 
at that Southern (Kemper Street) station.  I  saw many trains drop or pick up 
mail storage cars and I will have to say, some  might have been the N&W bound 
trains.
 
I have some conductor record books from the 1960s kept by an N&W  conductor 
while he worked from Lynchburg or Roanoke to Bristol.  These  books tell the 
crew names, train times, engine numbers, and complete consist  data.  Contact me 
off list and tell me exactly what information you are  needing.  I hope I can 
help!
