Deepwater in 1907 -- Construction

[NW Mailing List]

In and About Town
------
    The Deepwater cars crossed the Bluestone at Rock on Thursday of last week, and the construction train will finish the track laying through the big tunnel on Garland & Litz's work today.  This is said to be one of the best pieces of work on the line.

[Trains were already operating between Deepwater and Matoaka, so this track laying must have been east of Rock where the first two tunnels east are: Rock - 549'  and King - 452'   Which is "big tunnel?"  Who, or what, was Garland & Litz?  The track-laying contractor?]
