There was interlockings at Riverton, Va. (Sou) and Charlestown, WVa. (B&O).

I have to question Glasgow, Va. being called an "interlocking" as the 
C&O did not cross the N&W at this point. The C&O had trackage rights 
from Glasgow to Loch Laird and their access to the N&W was through a 
connection track to Balcony Falls.

Loch Laird was a different matter as the Richmond & Allegheny (later 
C&O) crossed the N&W at this point at grade. Later this interlocking was 
taken out when the C&O was given trackage rights on the N&W on the other 
side of the river.
