Virginia City

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Virginia City is a former coal mining town in eastern Wise County,
Virginia, located on the N&W's Clinch Valley Line approximately 4 miles
west of St. Paul and 8 miles east of Coeburn. In its heyday it was the
site of a Virginia Iron, Coal & Coke Co. coal tipple located on a spur
off of the CV mainline. 
 
A photo of the Virginia City siding circa 1960 is in the Virginia Tech
Library digital image base at:

More information about Virginia City can probably be obtained from the
Wise County Historical Society. Its website is at:

	This is a stab in the dark, but wasn't Virginia City changed to
"COEBURN" sometime around 1900.  I think I remember reading that
somewhere.
	 
	Another similar one is Estillville, VA, in Scott County which is
now Gate City on the old SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

		I have been looking for an N&W Map ca. 1893 that is part
of the collection of The Museum of Southwest Virginia (Roanoke)showing
routes to SW Virginia. Shown on the map is Virginia City (Wise County),
no longer a municipality. If anyone knows where I might obtain a copy of
the map or has information regarding Virginia City, I would appreciate
it.
		
		
		Thanks,
