Black

[NW Modeling List]

Yes.  N&W started a piggyback service out of Bristol in 1957 or 1958 in conjunction with Mason-Dixon truck lines out of Kingsport, TN.  I don't know where the other end of the service was - probably Rochester, NY.  The trains were numbered, as I recall, 58 and 59.  The trains were pulled by K-1s.  They lasted maybe a couple of weeks.  It is my understanding that the Teamsters put pressure on M-D to stop cutting their drivers out of the long haul trips.

        For an excellent discussion of modeling "black", see the article "N&W Tour, What Happened to all the Black!" by R.L. Hundman with photos by R. Bradley, pp. 30-35, Mainline Modeler, 11/97.
