Robb:
15T and 16T you say ?  That is indeed  refreshing
news.  Apparently NS has realized that  not
every car must go through  Atlanta.
 
My observation of the N&W/SOU merger  was
that neither railroad dominated, but on a  depart-
ment basis, it was either the red team or  the
green team that dictated policy.   N&W  perse-
vered in Mechanical; Southern in  Engineering.
In Transportation, the policy-making  arm
of the Operating  Department, it was  most 
definitely Southern.  Again, my humble opinion.
 
Immediately, a run-through was established  from
Hagerstown to Sheffield, AL via Riverton,  Jct.,
Manassas,  Atlanta, Birmingham.  Routing  the
traffic over Bristol woulda been 215 miles  shorter.
Insufficient traffic ?  Maybe, but think of all  the
Knoxville and Chattanooga traffic that was  routed
through Linwood and handled in Asheville-  Old
Fort turns to get it  past  Ridgecrest.         
 
                                                       Harry  Bundy
