2-letter shop codes for NYO&W | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

CentralFan1976OGR Forum Member

Good afternoon all.

I’m doing some investigation work for a friend, and we’re looking for the two letter shop code for either the Middletown or Norwich car shops of the NYO&W.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I think you’re correct Dave, ….Mario’s question kinda intrigued me, so I’ve been searching too, ……everything mentions the car shops as “AV” from what I’ve seen,….

Thanks everyone!

Since I really can't find any pictures on the interweb, I've had to rely on fuzzy photos and this is what I've come up with based on what I can decipher. Is this correct for a car coming out of the Norwich shops?

Please reference this photo for what I can see... https://www.flickr.com/photos/trail_dawg/24749108101

Thanks!

I don’t know about the shop ID, but the “RPKD” stands for “Repacked.”

This means the car’s axle bearings were repacked with fresh lubricating pads in the journal boxes on December 1, 1933.

This is why we needed the shop code!
