> Subject: N&W operations stories?

> Hello,

>

> Does anyone know of any books or articles describing the operations of

any particular branch or turn on the N&W in steam days? 

> The kind that would describe the moves actually made with track

descriptions or the reason one engine was used over another. 

>

> What I am thing of here is more articles like the one Ed King wrote(

"Flagging Instructions / An Inside Look at Mine Train Operations")

> in 2004 Jan/Feb issue of The Arrow, Or the really terrific books written

on the operations of the Interstate RR by Hugh and Ed Wolfe.

>

> As a young-in (1963) who never got to see the real thing, I really enjoy

those sort of stories, articles and remembrances.

> Thanks
