NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 199, Issue 42 Re: End of N&W Passenger Service and the beginnings of Amtrak

[NW Mailing List]

Please remember to sign your posts!

The members bonus content requires you to log in with your member number, name, and zip code. Once it validates your membership, you can download a bonus PDF of additional material for the Arrow, most that relates to the current issue, some that is totally new. Now, I’m not going to say that some of the content will not be seen later in another Arrow, but it might, and it might not!

The content will be available for an unknown time at this point, at least until the next issue is in people’s hands, it might stay a bit longer. Additional content is something I will be shooting for every issue, but not guaranteed, so members actually get a bit more than they might expect, and as an incentive to being members.

>> What a great issue! Many thanks to those who contributed to the issue. We have one of the best, high quality publications of all the RRHS.

>> I have a question concerning the consist lists (yellow things) in the Arrow and the Bonus feature and what the designations mean. I'm not familiar with them. I assume "P" is for passenger car, "M" is Mail-Storage and "D" stands for diner. What would "A" & "M" designate?

>> The comment on page 6 of the supplement made me wonder about Southern E-8s being uncommon through Roanoke. As a youngster I visited Roanoke station many times during summer vacations between 1959-1968. I remember seeing green Southern engines which later became black and I definitely got some cab rides in the E-8a units when they would uncouple to add/remove head end cars. I do not remember any FP-7a units on my visits.
