Weed spray and de-vegetation options (NW Mailing List)

Can remember seeing "weed trains" during mid-to-late 1960's growning up in Dry Branch, VA. Only remember that because they were something different from everyday operations. Sorry I can't be more specific - I was only around 10 years old. We did pay attention to operations, though, because great-grandfather had been section foreman.
Best regards;

I may have missed part of this thread, but I can add that I remember
seeing weed-spray work trains in the mid-1950's on the Peavine
(Cincinnati-Portsmouth Line). My dad had always said it was because
of the hot embers possible from the steam engines. However the idea
of the signals and poles makes sense as well. However, I don't recall
seeing those weed-spray trains after steam was gone on the Cincy Line
(1956 for Freight, and 1958 for Passenger Steam).

At some time after WWII the Abingdon terminal was closed and the train
operated out of Bristol. If someone knows the date, I'd be very interested.
I believe a superheated W-2, the 771, was assigned to the Branch but after
the Abingdon engine terminal was closed and the trains operated over the
main line to Bristol, superheated class Ms were used, notably the 382, 429
and 495. There may have been others.

Subject: Abingdon coal wharf and engine house
I?ve been trying to determine if the coal wharf/trestle and engine house
just west of Pecan Street in Abingdon on the lead to the Abingdon branch we?re
still standing (and functioning??) in the mid-50s. The 1929 track map of
Abingdon (HS-F10182) shows both of these structures. Unfortunately, I could
find no photos or video footage of this particular spot.
Thanks in advance for the help.

?Harry,
? If I ever get a copy, I will.
I think that I have a line on getting one early next week, but, it is a
shame that NS can't send one out to its retirees!

Can anyone positively identify what these keys would unlock/lock? I'm
thinking maybe they are coach or cab keys, but, I am not certain.
