Walton "BH Tower, Date for Closing

[NW Mailing List]

Abram, 
Is there any way you could scan that form and send it to me? I am building  
a large model railroad based on the N & W Pocahontas Division during the  
late steam era. The layout is being built for operations. Hence very shortly 
I  am going to need forms to make the operation as prototypical as possible!
Thanks
Ray Russell Sr.

In  cleaning out some boxes of old paperwork last evening, I ran across a 
note  scribbled on the back of an N&W Empty Car Waybill. It says, "BH Walton  
closed October 12, 1959, 11:59PM." 

Random information lacking  attribution or source reference lacks real 
credibility, but I think I wrote  the note after a 1970s conversation with 
Radford Division Telegrapher Scott  Spradlin, who hired in the 1940s and worked 
BH. 

Note that the date is  just six weeks before the "Virginian merger," and I 
have to wonder how the  closing of BH was related to merger planning.
