N&W/Southern thru passenger service

[NW Mailing List]

After N&W joined Amtrak, there were no passenger trains on N&W. Prior to that, 
the Southern "through" trains had been reduced to one Bristol to Washington 
round trip, and the N&W portion of that ended with Amtrak.

Thanks for all the help!  Next question that hit me today was what happened to 
the Southern's thru trains after N&W joined Amtrak in 1971?  I presume they kept 
their Southern power.  But did they keep Southern crews or were N&W crews 
switched as the trains changed railroads.  I would also take it that Southern 
crews/porters manned the passenger cars.

Thanks in advance,
James Wall
