The P&WV Hi-Line

I have the station list page from timetable #200.

I have it scanned; is there a way to attach it to a message? If not, send me a message and maybe I can email it.

If you guys are interested, I have timetables from 1935, 1941 and 1956 I can scan as PDFs. Be glad to share.

This has been a really interesting conversation, thanks for sharing the info!

Just a quick question, and I apologize if it's already been discussed, but wasn't there something contractually with th ...

Crews have been pretty busy working on the passing siding in Hickory. Lots of new ties and ballast in that area.

Is that part of the Westland project? Increase capacity?

I've found a number of those recently "out west," as in west of Rook.

A friend of mine and myself were trying to figure out what the numbers meant as well...maybe something to do with a lease agree ...

Tom,

Somewhere around here, I have an early NW-era timetable from 1968 that lists the office hours for many of the old stations (Longview, Bridgeville, and others). Once I find it, I can tell you ...

Thanks for the great response.

So the Rook dispatcher coordinated his last train movements in 1977...

Was traffic dying off at this point in time, so much so that N&W management felt that th ...

A quick question about one of our favorite railroads....

When was the Rook dispatcher moved/consolidated to Brewster? Would this have been an NS thing?

What sort of physical plant changes would ...

The building in the center of the wye is more than likely the house that's still there. Interestingly enough, the rail is still in alot of the wye, just buried underneath landscaping and a driveway.

I would have really liked to get those stories down on tape.

This was actually the first time we'd ever met - I guess we're something like fourth cousins.

Railroading seems to run in the famil ...

All these photographs and images provided on this website are a great resource for anyone interested in the P&WV; another great way to learn about the trains and the people that ran them is to tal ...

That information would be extremely helpful. Thank you very much.

That era would be a very interesting one to "simulate," I'm sure.

The recently posted photographs taken at West Liberty raise a question for me....

Does anyone have an idea as to how much traffic was running over the P&WV during, say the late 40s and early 50 ...

Around 1:15 on Friday Afternoon, Nov. 25, units 301 and 303 pulled a long string of empties into Rook from the west. Bringing up the rear of the consist, interestingley, were 14 loaded hoppers; these ...

As of this past week, all of the old siding has been taken off the structure, and new windows have been installed. It also appears as if new concrete has been poured underneath the building. Some wo ...

Thanks for the information. That's exactly the era that I was looking into. I'll have to keep my eyes open for that one.

Just wanted to say that this looks like a fantastic new web site. I have long wondered when this great fallen flag would finally get a home on the information super-highway.

Also, I have a questio ...
