Thanks to Jim Nichols and Ed King for their replies on this. Now if can only figure out where the sand came from!

Jim, remember the mine at Williamson where they brought the coal from the mine across the river from the Kentucky side in a bucket conveyer to the coaling station in the yard? Well, that is a mine from which they got coal for their locomotives. Don't know if there were others, but they sure used that one. Jim Nichols

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>
