Intermodal on the old N&W

[NW Mailing List]

Harry (and group),

Thanks.  So for the areas I said:

   1. Northbound, Williamson, WV - Portsmouth, OH
   2. Northbound, Portsmouth, OH - Columbus, OH
   3. Eastbound, Williamson, WV - Farm, WV
   4. Eastbound, Farm, WV - Bluefield, WV

What are the other division/districts for the modern NS?

Tug is near Farm correct?

Isn't Farm still the place helpers are added for heavy eastbounds headed up
to Bluefield?

Does anyone know a source for decently current train sheets?

Thanks,
John Rhodes
