A correction to my previous post please -- in 1949, when Nos. 9 + 10
operated to Kemper Street Station - Lynchburg, No. 10 became
Southern Railway's No. 142 at Montview Tower, Lynchburg, where
the train transferred from N&W to Southern. This was to avoid a
duplication in Southern train numbers. Nos. 9 and 10 were Southern's
Skyland Special. Southward, No. 141 became N&W's No.9 at
Montview. Southern Railway timetables indicate that Nos. 141-142
operated Montview to Washington, but for Bristol line passenger en
route to D.C., there was a 10 hour 50 minute layover in Roanoke
(if they didn't transfer to the Birmingham Special). Westbound,
No. 9 laid over for 3 hours 10 minutes.
