Well, Rodney, as long as it's ancient history like this we don't really mind too much . . .

  I didn't realize this was a forum to discuss politics!

  Ah yes, Harry.  That must have been "'orrible 'enery 'owell" (Henry Howell), as James J. Kilpatrick termed him.  Another of his slogans, which was displayed on bumper stickers of the late '60's and early "70's, was "Welcome to Virginia, owned by VEPCO" or something like that.   Whether one agreed with his politics or not, he certainly caused the staid Virginia political and business power structure apoplexy at the time.  I figured if he ever won the governorship, which he almost did, Senator Byrd would have requested the President to call out the National Guard to put down the "insurrection". 8^)

    LJP:
    Not within the time frame Marty Flick requested, but in the
    70's, N&W 101 was assigned to the Resident Vice President
    at Norfolk, H. E. Carter.  If he had to attend a meeting in,
    say Roanoke, the 101 would be attached to the rear of an
    abbreviated hopper train (100 cars or so).  Mr. Carter had
    quite an attraction for the 101.  It allowed him to critique
    conditions of the track (he'd risen to VP through the Main-
    tenance of Way Dept.).  

    It was usually spotted near the passenger station at Lamberts
    Point.  The 101 became somewhat of a blemish on N&W.
    A democrat seeking to be Governor of the Commonwealth
    ran on a campaign of "keep the big boys honest' (or something
    similar).  Unannounced and without permission, he boarded
    Mr. Carter's business car to show the public how "the other
    half lived".  After that, the 101 was transferred to Roanoke and
    would be deadheaded to Lamberts Point when needed.  
                                                            Harry Bundy
