Names of Shortlines in WV and VA that made up the N&W railway and VGN.

[NW Mailing List]

Don,

The two N&W component railroads that you mention are just two among many, 
many more that went to make up the later day N&W.  The best place I know of 
for you to see these is the NWHS Web page 
http://www.nwhs.org/nw_timeline.html.

The Virginian history is much simpler.  Basically its main line components 
were the Tidewater and Deepwater plus a number of coal field branch lines 
that started as individual corporations.  Maybe someone else can tell us if 
there is a timeline for the VGN similar to the one mentioned above for the 
N&W.
