Fwd: Re: N&W/Scioto Valley Question

[NW Mailing List]

Just a guess here but is Cando shown on any N&W document that predates the construction of the parallel "C and O" Northern Subdivision? Could this have been a connection for construction equipment and material during the 1926-27 construction of that line? FWIW "CANDO" also shows up on C&O documents.

 Between Ashville and Ritts on the N&W, there had been
 tanks supplied from Big Walnut Creek.  The tanks had
 a storage capacity of 150,000 gals.  Use of one of the
 tanks was discontinued during the winter.  Between
 Jan. 1 and October 31, 1943, an average of 0.4
 trains/day stopped to take on 7,000 gals.   This water
 station was apparently known as Reeses.

 Very interesting.   There was station named Cando in 1929 just north of Circleville.  I have been unable to locate any miles for this point. Could this be the old name for Ritz?

 A 1909 N&W PTT showed Reeses as 4 miles from Lockbourne and 2 miles to Valley Xing.  Below is a list of these stations.
