Bud,

The Bluefield coaling station is listed as "Ogle."

Gordon,

Does the Data Book No.2, dated 9/10/1957, list the "type" for Bluefield's 2,000-ton coaling station built in 1954? If so, would you send that, too.

Bud,

Your date for the Iaeger coaling station is probably about right because the 5/19/53 Data Book II lists Iaeger as having two Norfolk Type coal hoists with 85 cu. ft. buckets serving two tracks.

At the Archives session this week, I'll check the drawing revision log book for the Data Book drawings to see if their revision details pin this date down closer.

Thanks, Gordon.

I visited Auville Yard at Iaeger about a month and half ago but could not find a date on the coaling station when it was built. I believe it was about 1955 and was probably the last one built. The 1956 Annual Report lists Auville/Iaeger yards having completed improvements in 1956 but does not elaborate on what the changes/improvements were.

Bud,

It didn't occur to me that the Auville coaling station was listed as Iaeger, but the latter is given as Ogle 200 tons.

Gordon,

I don't have the Data Book No. II with the '57 date. What is the listed tonnage for the Auville/Iaeger coaling station?

Jeff,

I confirmed Bud's figures in N&W Gen'l. Sup't. Motive Power Data Book No. II, dated 9/10/57.

Bud -



I got to looking at these a bit more. Are you sure about Vicker being 250 tons and Farm being 200 tons? Those structures are much smaller than Bluefield and Prichard.

Can anyone provide a listing of the capacities of the surviving N&W coaling towers? I have the information on Bluefield. Was curious how others such as Farm, Prichard, Auville and Vicker measured up.
