Clinch Valley District

[NW Mailing List]

Charlie -
 
Bucky Wilson and I co-authored a three article series on the Clinch
Valley District that was published in The Arrow (the Society's magazine)
in the March/April, May/June, and July/August, 2004 issues. Back issues
of The Arrow are available from the Society in one year sets. The
website is: www.nwhs.org <http://www.nwhs.org> . Our articles had a lot
of photos, maps, and copies of timetables for the Clinch Valley District
and should answer some of your questions.
 
You should also get a copy of The Interstate Railroad book by Ed Wolfe
which has a lot of good information about the history of railroads in
Wise County and the Norton yard and interchange with the N&W. Ron
Flanary has also written several books about the L&N in southwestern
Virginia.
 
If you have any questions you can contact me off-line.

	Hi,  I'm new to the list and wondering if someone could help me
with info concerning Norton, Va and the interchange with the L&N and
Interstate there.  I'm thinking of building a layout encompassing Norton
with the L&N, IRR and N&W yard and interchange along with a short line
the Norton and Northern which ran from Norton to Wise as an additional
operation.  The N&W and N&N portions being the primary operation.  I'm
thinking of 2 possible eras the 1920's-30' or set it in the 50's even
though the Norton and Northern was defunct by then. 
	 
	 Specifically:
	1. Does anyone no what kind of  commodities were interchanged
with the L&N and IRR at Norton other than coal?  
	2. I have found info concerning a turntable but not a
roundhouse, was there one?
	3. Does anyone have a N&W ETT from the 20's for the Pocahontas
Division they would be willing to share a copy of?
	4. A copy I have of a N&W 1930 ETT shows only eastbound freight
traffic, why and what did they do about balancing motive power if
everything was going in one direction.
	5. Can anyone shed any light on general N&W freight and
passenger operations during those time periods.
	 
	My direct email is seewright2 at verizon.net if any one has
anything they can send.  Thanks to anyone willing to help!  
	 
	Charlie
