Jim,

Add me to the list of those who are interested.  I believe you have something unique with the 578 recordings.  AFAIK, Link did not record any of the Clinch Valley runs, even on his missing tapes where we know the content. However, there are four of his tapes where we know nothing about content.  Bud Swearer's tapes don't contain anything on the Clinch Valley line either.  The Thieme tapes that have been digitized also do not contain anything from this area of the N&W.  Have at it, you'll be making history!!

As I mentioned before, I have Bill Bauer’s 1/4 inch tape recordings and recently released his chase of Y6 2136 on a mine run in 1958. Bill also rode trains 5 & 6 and recorded much of those runs from the baggage car at the head of the train. Pacific 578’s Hancock whistle is very prominent in those recordings and Bill captured some great sound as the train got up to speed out of Bluefield, Va before working it’s way toward Norton over grades, trestles, and through tunnels. He kept the recorder going at some of the station stops where you hear talk from the crew and ground personnel and related activity. If there is sufficient interest, I’ll produce a CD from those trips.
