[NW Mailing List]

Marty,

Not the same number, but this link shows some cars with similar numbers of ACF B23A boxcars from 1966.

Athearn in their HO scale Genesis line offered a 60' Pullman-Standard auto parts boxcar lettered for N&W.  The I have is number 600407.  It is brown, with a small half moon herald in the upper left corner, N&W reporting marks without serifs, and a large NORFOLK & WESTERN to the right of the double plug doors.  Most interestingly, it appears to be a paint out or patch job.  Athearn did not put a class number on it, and I cannot find any references to the cars in the Archives nor in my N&W freight car equipment diagram books, other than the number series listed in the index with no description.  

 

Does anyone know what the history is of these cars, who the original owner was, and when they served on N&W?

 

Thanks

Marty Flick
