old pictures from the coal fields

[NW Mailing List]

Can anyone explain why the1936 Railway Age gives the distance between Coopers and Krag as being 0.65 miles whereas Coopers is east of Elkhorn Tunnel and Switchback is west of Elkhorn Tunnel and about 5 or 6 miles from Coopers?

  Krag was the N&W name for the end of the Elkhorn Branch serving the Elkhorn Coal & Coke Co (later Mill Creek Coal & Coke Co) near Maybeury, WV.  The branch line joined the mainline at Switchback, WV.

    Alex,
    Thanks for the help/information.  Perhaps you or someone else out there could help with another question from the same general area.  The 1936 Railway Age notes N&W's application to abandon 0.65 miles of line from Coopers to "Krag".  Anybody know where Krag is/was and where this line tied into the main?
    Thanks again,
    Jim Cochran
