Bluefield Coal Show

[NW Mailing List]

Lois: My memory is that the Coal Show was held EVERY year. I'm talking about the late 1940's and early 1950's when it was held at the freight station. I think later it moved to the armory in Brush Fork, so they may have made it semi-annual by then. (I can't confirm this either way) I attended every year while I was in high school. It was generally written up in the Norfolk & Western Magazine each year, with emphasis on the N&W's equipment exhibit for that year. So check the Archives N&W Mag. collection. If you have specific questions, contact me off-list at jamesanichols at bellsouth.net, and I will do my best to tell you what I remember.

I am presently researching the Bluefield Coal Show, held every two years and featured in the N&W Magazine. I would like to hear from anyone who either attended this event or have information about it, to get a first-person viewpoint that I feel will be useful to my story. I appreciate any help you can provide me on this.
