N&W in 1910--More Christmas rush

Bluefield Daily Telegraph

ALL TRAINS LOADED
------
Unusually Heavy Passenger Traffic on Second Night Before Christmas
    Unusually heavy passenger business marked the second night before Christmas and train No. 16 went off this division with two sections, the first of which carried twelve packed cars, while the second went on with the regular equipment. Both trains were loaded.  All train were late, but not so much as in past years.
    As soon as the passenger movement was ended, which was in the neighborhood of 10 o'clock for all trains with the exception of No. 3, the train crews and telegraph operators got busy in earnest moving the freight trains which have suffered during the heavy Christmas passenger rush.
