N&WHS branch line series is now available. Retail price is $27.95, member

*North Fork -- Norfolk & Western Branch Line*, second book in NWHS's Branch 
Line series, is a soft-cover publication using 104 pages, 84 black/white 
pictures and 77 maps and charts to tell the story of the 7.3 miles of 
railroad that ran from Northfork to Crumpler in McDowell County, West 
Virginia. The branch line operated from 1891 to 1986 and produced nearly 
120 million tons of coal from 12 mining operations over its operating life. 
NWHS's newest publication uses construction records, track charts, siding 
agreements, contracts, maps and photographs to tell the why, how, who, what 
and when of this branch of the N&W. Learn why the coal operators had to pay 
the construction costs. Learn how the branch line changed over the years. 
There are photographs from the 1890s, 1912 topology maps and modern road 
maps for the railfan. Detailed tipple track charts aid the model railroader 
in building realistic model railroad mining operations.
