Y6's on the Pulaski Dist.

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Ed,

Your answer intrigues me because I model the N&W's Shenandoah Valley line and 95 and 51 originated at Hagerstown.

Is it reasonable to assume that those locomotives you observed bringing those trains to Bristole would have departed Hagerstown with the same locomotives?  I realize they could have been swapped out at either Shenandoah or Roanoke, but was just curious regarding this issue.

Many thanks for all of your information so generously shared with the list.
