Steam Loco Coal

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

"From Mine to Market" mentions that Clinch No. 1 and Clinch No.2 fields
were predominantly used as locomotive coal for the company in the early
1900's.  Given this, there should be a reference to this coal traffic in
the Annual Reports.

 

I just came across this about two weeks ago when re-reading the book.

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>
