Wonderful photo Mike. Can you share a few more memories/details about the Saltville trip that day? Timing? Consist? Etc.  Weather looked good from your photo.  Thanks,  John Garner

To illustrate Bob’s mention of the trip over to Saltville here is my photo made that day of No. 11 with my wife, Maiddie

, adding a little interest. (She is a Saltville native.). I also have images of the convention train itself filled with happy passengers (in a gondola car as I remember).

I have 2 Kodachromes of SOU 4192 with captions stating Natural Tunnel, 9-1960.  Green F-7 with N&W coaches.  I tried finding info about this convention on the NRHS site but nothing there (several 1957 videos if you’re interested).

What were the details about this convention?  I know 475 and a Southern Silverside gon (brand new) were displayed in Bristol and I’ve seen a poor slide of 2 Redbirds hauling a passenger train, likely a special with conventioneers, at the Abingdon station.  I’d like to know more about this convention, especially excursion trips.
