>>> Another excursion with a K1 and also carrying rider gons on the back.

>>> I think this one went to or from Bristol.

>>> The doubleheaded excursion from Bluefield to Norton with Pacifics.

>>> There are possibly others that I will find as I go through this film.

>>> Thanks for any assistance.
