A friend of mine sent me the link below to a short video from 2016 regarding the SOU 1200 coach that was placed in the Smithsonian. The video showed some short clips of the car's interior during the

N&W 475 is what it's coupled to. I have an original color neg showing that engine with the Silverside coupled to it. N&W 433 was already spotted on the Abingdon panel track display before this date.

Our partnership with TVRM has allowed us to broaden our exposure to many groups of all ages. Where else can you see 5 operable, 2 steam, Southern Railway locomotives plus other Southern equipment,

I think all the questions about preservation, cost, and use are intertwined. If you have materials out there that people can use, you create a following and a group dedicated to the railway's history

Hello Ike and all, I would recommend looking at the way the NYCSHS has offered their collections up as a way for the archive to hopefully pay for itself and also be a bit more autonomous on requests

Ike, Thanks for the response. Merry Christmas to you and the list. TBS has already started their annual 24-hour run of A Christmas Story. My replies are embedded within and start with DF and are in

David: Your points, and questions are excellent. Let me take a stab at an answer….. Yes, there is the concept of multiple “processes” to organize, scan, make available for researchers and

Jim: I don't know myself but info from Ed King is "take it to the bank" stuff. Ike

I own this color negative and the envelope it came in was dated and stated Bristol. The brick building behind the Silverside gon also looks like the yard office that’s still there but there’s

I asked Ed King if he knew anything about the photo. He did not except to say he did not think it was in Bristol. Ed would certainly know, he is "Mr Steam" and from Bristol. Ike

Thanks for the insights, Jim. Scott Chatfield

This is the other end of the Silverside shot. 475 was dolled up for the famous 1957 NRHS convention and used for special occasions afterward and stored in Shaffer’s Crossing r/h in between. It now

Another point re: this 1960 shot of Silverside and N&W 475 I just sent: the last steam on N&W was in Williamson WV, a lowly 0-8-0, in May 1960. I don’t know if 475 was serviceable to be

They were built in Birmingham.

My guess: the hopper was newly built and was being routed to the nearest SOU interchange point for delivery to SOU. Mike Turner MP-Z35

I was thinking there must have some kind of display in Bristol for PR. The freshly painted tender is the give away with that late date. I think Bob Graham may be right, the Abington engine that was

My guess (emphasize GUESS) is that SOU silverside shown in the slide is not being worked by N&W steam, but is coupled to N&W class M 4-8-0 433 (for some reason) that was restored cosmetically and is

They would have been brand new if they were switched by N&W steam. I don’t know the answer, but since the photo was taken in Bristol, the car could have been touched by N&W in the joint N&W-SOU yard

Probably new en route. I see a builder's date of 2/60. If I remember correctly N&W ran steam through April 1960, though increasingly isolated. Thanks for sharing. This is something which you never
