Thanks Ike. The A&Y is listed and liked under the Southern at NARA. The boxes i pulled often had notebooks for other Southern lines, main company, subsidiaries and wholly owned short lines. I’m

On second thought…. The A&Y Valuation data may (!) be in the Southern “short line” or “subsidiary” ledgers. They contain many union station and subsidiary files. None have been reviewed or

There appear to be three bridges described in your example. The examples you posted look like they are from field notes. The quality and format of the notes depended on the two or three people in the

We had a productive work session at the SRHA/TVRM archives this weekend. When someone comes to the archives for the first time, we usually suggest that the simply open one of the Presidents' archive

Bill is correct. The Southern did cross the Eno on the south end of Hillsborough NC. It's successor (NS/NCRR) continues to do so and I'm very happy to report that during cooler weather I have the

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.  I will leave the "Eno River" on the sheet when it comes to lettering one of the 10-6's I have. I had found lists of Southern sleepers, none listed it, but did

Anyone have a lead on plans for a typical Southern train order station? I'm particularly interested in the footprint -- what the dimensions of the foundation would be, and whether the foundation would

Yes, the Royal Arch was a 5 DBR-Obs-Lounge - one of three owned by the SOU built in 1950 for the Crescent and New Royal Palm, the other two being Royal Palm and Royal Court. In 1950, the Royal

The David Randall guide states Southern purchased 24(2400 - 2423) of the 46 10-6 sleepers in the order. Here are the names of the rivers from the Wiley and Wallace

If Ike was all that with Photoshop, he’d have shown us a photo of the Eichelberger River! Doug Alexander Sent from my portable UNIVAC Computational Machine.

There's a diagram for the 10-Roomette-6 Double Bedroom car Enoree River (along with all the other cars in the series) in the 1956 Southern Railway passenger car diagram book in my possession, also a

The Southern Railway had three 10-6 'River'sleepers that had an "E" at the start, Emory River, Enoree River and Etowah River. You can pick your favorite. Fenton Wells -- Fenton Wells 250 Frye

There is a picture of the 10-6 Pullman Enoree River on page 75 of W. David Randall's Pullman-Standard Library, Vol. 7. There is no listing of a car named Eno River. Gary Bechdol Stone Mountain, Ga

Enoree River - yes Eno River - no, no, a thousand times no. Another iPhone-generated message

I assumed that the original post on this topic had a typo in the subject line, and that it should have read "Emory River" - but no one ever corrected it. On the other hand, Ike posted a photo of the

So Bill, was there in fact a 10-6 named “Eno River”? I don’t recall any by that name Doug Alexander Sent from my portable UNIVAC Computational Machine.

If there was, it is not listed in the Pullman List for 1961.

Doug: The Southern does indeed cross the Eno River, at Hillsborough, N.C., just east of Durham. The railroad crossed more rivers than it owned sleeping cars, so not every river received the honor of

Richard, Southern named their 10-6 Pullman cars for rivers the railroad crossed. There were scores of them. And of course, not a one comes to mind at this moment. But I don't know of an Eno River
