Train Numbers

[NW Mailing List]

Some railroads, SAL for one, showed the names of trains in employee  
timetables.
N&W did not.  The N&W public timetable showed both name and  number. Nos. 9 
and
10 were nameless. These trains  existed mainly for head-end  traffic, but 
they rated a
Class J locomotive.  Briefly,  these trains  originated/terminated at Kemper 
Street
Station in Lynchburg, but they were always intrastate trains -- barely,  
because I
believe N&W ownership ended at State Street in Bristol, the line of  
demarcation
between Virgiinia and Tennessee.  N&W appeared before Virginia's  State 
Commerce
Commission for discontinuance of Nos. 9  + 10 citing - - -. lack  of 
passenger patronage.
