N&W in 1911--WV railroads

[NW Mailing List]

Bluefield Daily Telegraph

VALUATION OF STEAM RAILROADS IN STATE SHOWS INCREASE OVER YEAR AGO

The attached list of West Virginia railroads in 1911 is from the above article and may be of interest to some Mailing Listers.  It is interesting how much larger the B&O's valuation was compared with N&W and C&O.

[The lack of clarity in the attached tabulations illustrates the difficulty of interpreting the microfilm copies of these old newspapers.  At the only machines available at the only site where the Bluefield Daily Telegraph microfilms are available in the Roanoke area where I live, the microfilm images are projected downward onto an opaque screen where they are photographed with a digital camera.  When text from these microfilms is to be posted on the Mailing List, the camera images are displayed on a computer screen and manually transcribed into an email message.]
