Steam Loco Coal

Jim - I don't know where the bulk of it came from, but in Williamson they had a bucket conveyor that dumped right into the coaling tower from a mine over on the Kentucky side, I believe.

  While we are trying to discover how locomotive sand was transported and where it came from, does anyone know where N&W obtained its coal for its steam locomotives?

  Certainly, it was on-line and probably one of the operations owned by the Pocahontas Land Corporation?  But which one(s)?

  Obviously, it was shipped in N&W hoppers! <vbg>
