Passenger Exchange N&W to PRR

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

My September 28, 1947 Norfolk and Western public timetable  shows sleepers 
New York - Roanoke, coaches Harrisburg - Roanoke, and dining cars  Shenandoah - 
Roanoke.  Growing up in Bluefield, my dad often had to travel  to New York 
City.  He'd typically go coach to Roanoke and pick up the New  York sleeper in 
Roanoke.  Apparently it was not unusual for the diner  to be a PRR diner (in 
which case he'd eat at the station in Roanoke!), so it's  entirely possible that 
the diner just shut down after Shenandoah but stayed in  the train.  I'm sure 
others will fill in the missing  details.

On Train 2, the northbound from Roanoke to Hagerstown, MD,  there was a 
through sleeper to New York.  I've also seen mention in  public timetables that 
there was coach service to Harrisburg.  So it  seems very likely that the entire 
train could have been handed over to PRR at  Hagerstown, with the reverse move 
becoming N&W Train 1  southbound.
 
Anyone know more about this?

I seem to remember (as  a young boy in the late 40's) that in Hagerstown, MD,
arriving N&W  trains would remove the engine, connect a Pennsy engine &  pull
most of the cars  north.
 
The converse was true -  Pennsy engines would disconnect from southbound 
trains & N&W engines  would connect & head south.
 
Someone may know  exactly which trains & which cars were "pulled-thru" but in 
an  earlier time this is my 55 years ago memory.
 
Also, a big thank you  to Tom Cosgrove, Jim Brewer & Phil Miller for 
providing information  about scanner frequencies.
