Virginian subsidiary...

[NW Mailing List]

Can anyone tell me anything about Virginian subisdiary Virginia and Western?  According to my Railroad Atlas of North America, it ran from Elmore to Justice, WV, if you follow the old alignment to Justice underneath what is now R.D. Bailey Lake.
   
  I'm curious as to why this line is sublettered VW on the atlas, and yet all its braches are sublettered VGN.
   
  Anyone know the story behind it?
