Oh Abe, Son of "Spike" (SOS)--
It's taken a great deal of deducing. My guess may not be correct.
Consider this:
1- Where the "G" appears, it's followed by "C".
2- N&W, et al., used "C" to designate coaling stations.
3- Would the Virginia-Carolina have had coaling stations only 12 mi. apart ?
4- Although shown in the Radford Div. Time Table, I don't believe N&W had
taken ownership of the V-C by that date.
5- Different strokes for different folks; N&W showed RR crossings at grade
by
the alpha "X". Maybe the V-C used "GC".
I am not familiar with the route of the White Top RR, but perhaps the "GC"
designates a crossing with that railroad. Or maybe it was the Grand Central
Terminal.
