New Member & Tallulah Falls Railway #73

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks, Jim!

I guess "new" can look a lot like "N+W" on a hand-written list, 
especially when the previous locomotive in the list *did* come from the 
N&W.  Out of curiosity, where do you get your information?  Is there a 
database of locomotives by builder's number?

As for TF #72/N&W #354/202, I hadn't even thought of the engine at the 
Roanoke Transportation Museum.  Of course, I've stared at that engine 
every time I bring a train into the yard.  I'll have to drive up there 
and measure it some time.
