I too, used to visit my grandparents in Roanoke (Lloyd  Fisher - N&W 
passenger shop upholsterer) & go to the N&W station  every evening in the 1950's & 
60's. My cousin, Earl Fisher, directed the  yard crew to add & remove cars 
from passenger trains always referred to  the maroon GP7's as Red Birds. I 
thought that was "universal" lingo by N&W  guys.
