"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>
