N&W 6004xx Series Boxcars

[NW Mailing List]

 Don't know when the lease began, but the 1964 scheme lettering would mean it was patched before 1971.

Other than the placement of the large "NORFOLK & WESTERN", yes, that appears to be the same car.

Athearn in their HO scale Genesis line offered a 60'Pullman-Standard auto parts boxcar lettered for N&W.  TheI have is number 600407.  It is brown, with a small half moonherald in the upper left corner, N&W reporting marks withoutserifs, and a large NORFOLK & WESTERN to the right of the doubleplug doors.  Most interestingly, it appears to be a paint outor patch job.  Athearn did not put a class number on it, and Icannot find any references to the cars in the Archives nor in myN&W freight car equipment diagram books, other than the numberseries listed in the index with no description.  
Does anyone know what the history is of these cars, who theoriginal owner was, and when they served on N&W?
