Ken:For a Class J in passenger service to Cincinnati the problem was coal. Probablya canteen wouldn't have solved the problem.  Cincinnati Union Terminal usedjoint facility accounting to charge each road its proportion of expenses.  As NYC,PRR, CNO&TP and other roads changed to diesel power, N&W began paying agreater percentage for coal.  The solution ?  Put coal boards on the J tenders,top off westbound at Prichard (WV), hope the Class J didn't run out of coal onthe Prichard-Cincinnati-Prichard cycle.  There were too many close calls.                                                                               Harry Bundy
