> Passed around was my recent ebay purchase of an article from August 1956

> "Trains" entitled "Of Black Upholstery and Commanding Exhaust". "Cessation

> of Virginian passenger service provokes warm memories of orange cars,

> shoebox lunches, and Teddy Roosevelt regaling the riders with tales of San

> Juan Hill". The article mentioned Sunday "extra" Church Trains, Teddy

> Roosevelt speaking at the 1907 Jamestown Exposition to VGN riders and

> called VGN #3 and #4 "shoebox and cinders trains". The article told of

> orange coaches that matched the stations before WWI and riders "bragging

> about dinners on the night trains (#3) that left Norfolk's Union Station at

> 10 PM and arrived in Roanoke at 8 AM the next morning, the same hour as the

> day train (#4), took off for Norfolk". "They were trains with straight-back

> seats of somber black upholstery, spittoons and windows to stick your head

> into the winds and hear the stout steam engine moan, and whistle (sound)

> with commanding exhaust pluming from the smokestack. Engineers and firemen

> were quick to pitch candy to kids..."

>

> Also passed were photos of a G5 with "VIRGINIAN" peeking through the N&W

> paint, similar to the one that the Roanoke Chapter NRHS is donating to

> Victoria, and a great N&W (and VGN) HS Archives photo of one of the first

> From May 11, 2009 "Roanoke Times" Community Section of "50 years ago" I

> I continued showing recent DVDs made in my collection for future showing at

> rolling stock, including the VGN EL-C #135, out of the Virginia Museum of

> Transportation to get to the N&W A-Class 1218, that was taken to the O.

> Winston Link for the Celebration at the Station, last Saturday. The next

> DVD showed the two NS executive "F" units and business cars "Claytor Lake",

> "Virginia" and "West Virginia" fresh from the Kentucky Derby, also on

> display. I was able to video the inside of the business cars and this was

> the first time some of the Brethren had ever seen the interior of one. Also

> shown were videos of trains on the old Virginian tracks at the location of

> Hardy Station and Wabun, formally known as "Sears", where the eastern-most

> transformer station from the Narrows Power Plant (88,000 volts to catinary

> 11,000 volts) was located. On my way to Wabun, I was able to film, when

> stopped by two large drake geese who stood in the middle of the road, while

> a gander and 7 small chicks crossed to the Roanoke River. This turned out

> to be the tape that the Brethren wanted to see the second and third time...

>

> I told the Brethren about the progress being made for the Roanoke Chapter

> NRHS Fall Trip Excursions in November. This will be a train from Roanoke to

> Bluefield and return on Saturday and from Roanoke to Shenandoah and return

> on Sunday. More on this later.

> One of the Brethren said that his grandson ask him how old he was. When he

>

> Time to pull the pin on this one!
