Gary:
I don't think taking water at CUT was the issue, just coal.   I used the 
distances shown
in a 1957 passenger timetable.   Using mile posts to determine  distances can 
lead to
some erroneous answers.  From Farmville to Prospect, for example,  there are
twelve consecutive "short" miles.  Mile Post to Mile Post, the  distance 
between the
two stations is eleven miles (rounded), but actual mileage is closer to  nine.
