N&W excursions of the 1950's

[NW Mailing List]

Dear Mr. Newton:<br/>Thanks for the info about '50s special movements re: Jim Herron's query.<br/>Any other info out there? I've seen lotsa photos of excursions on the Abingdon branch and elsewhere behind steam and wondered when those trips occurred? Somebody out there has to know! :)<br/>I have a photo somewhere of the Abingdon branch excursion Jim mentioned that apparently took a work train along for the ride. There's a neat story there somewheres methinks.<br/>Let's see who'll respond first.<br/>Also, Mr. Herron, when you're editing that video, please let the shots run long enough so that us amateur historians can see the train at length. I always hate it when a shot cuts away right as things get interesting. IMHO, this ain't an MTV-era herky-jerky shot crowd you're marketing to. But I could be wrong! And the photogs may also have turned off the film after the engine passed too, I admit.<br/>Thanks<br/><br/>Andre Jackson<br/>Atlanta, GA<br/>Sent from
