Red Birds

[NW Mailing List]

I too, used to visit my grandparents in Roanoke (Lloyd Fisher  - N&W 
passenger shop upholsterer) & go to the N&W station every  evening in the 1950's & 
60's. My cousin, Earl Fisher, directed the yard crew  to add & remove cars 
from passenger trains always referred to the maroon  GP7's as Red Birds. I 
thought that was "universal" lingo by N&W  guys.
