Any Milk Trains on the N&W?

[NW Mailing List]

At one point, the Pet plant in Abingdon was loading a 70-foot express car in downtown Abingdon which was picked up by the Abingdon Branch train and taken to Bristol to go east on #42.  I have several photos of the "V-C" coming into Bristol with this car head out in the train.
Maybe someone can shed more light on this movement . . .

        Presumably, if there weren't any large-scale milk producers on the system, there wouldn't be any reason for a milk train originating on the N&W.

I purchased a milk can that has the N&W stamp on the bottom.  Don Mills

Shannon, Saltville, VA.  N&W". I have seen one or two others from other
locations on the N&W.

service. N&W did handle dairy products in express service on regular trains,
including those on the Shenandoah Division.  I have a photo of mixed train #14
in Hagerstown on the last day of steam operations, and there is a baggage wagon
in the picture loaded with milk cans.  There has also been a 1957 photo
published in one of the magazines of a wagon load of milk cans at Roanoke
station.
