N&W/Southern thru passenger service

[NW Mailing List]

Thanks for all the help!  Next question that hit me today was what happened to the Southern's thru trains after N&W joined Amtrak in 1971?  I presume they kept their Southern power.  But did they keep Southern crews or were N&W crews switched as the trains changed railroads.  I would also take it that Southern crews/porters manned the passenger cars.

Thanks in advance,
James Wall
