N&W in 1910--Big engines

Bluefield Daily Telegraph

BIG MALLET ENGINES SOON TO BE SEEN HERE
------
Number Ordered by Norfolk and Western for Work Between Bluefield and Flat Top Yards

    The time is not far distant when the Bluefield yard will see Mallet engines daily.  The Norfolk and Western has a number of the engines ordered and delivery is now some months late.  They are expected to arrive during the present year and when they do come some of them will be put to work between Bluefield and Flat Top Yards.  At the present time the local trains pull but twenty-eight cars between those two points on account of the grade but this will all be changed when the big engines get to work and show what modern equipment can do with a train load of cars.
    [The balance of the article quotes a magazine article on Mallet locomotives and is omitted here.]
