Class K2a at Columbus

[NW Mailing List]

 All

Appears to be an early morning shot, so I'd say it's No.33 arriving from Portsmouth about 7:40 a.m.  A connection/origination from No. 3 from that Ohio River point; a 2 hour and 40 minute run, with a Roanoke-Columbus  (later from Winston-Salem) sleeper.  The K2a was the usual motive power, although it was not uncommon for a J to venture up that way. The day trains, Nos.35-36, were showing in the 12/5/48 timetable but not in 1950. Until 1932, another train, Nos. 32-33. operated Kenova-Columbus with a Pullman buffet parlor car.

This would be westbound, arriving downtown at the Union terminal and freight terminal warehouses. Smith Bros Hardware building in the background still stands and is a landmark building.
What train would this be, and what time did it run, and where did it originate, normal composition (seems like a lot of head end cars) or any other info about it, etc...


not much track remains of a once great rail area
