piggyback in the steam era corrected

[NW Modeling List]

Oh, I am glad to admit it. I simply said I hadn't seen any evidence of it
(which was true when I said it) but you guys have come up with plenty of
evidence, so now I have learned something I didn't know.    Jim Nichols

Reverend Jim still doesn't want to admit that piggyback started before steam
ended.

 

The 1955 N&W Annual Report had a drawing of an "A" pulling a freight that
included a canteen and two piggyback cars.  It looks like upper management
were planning on piggyback being big business.  Remember they hadn't even
bought a diesel by then.
