Coal shifters on Pocahontas District

[NW Mailing List]

For the time period around 1955, Louis Newton lists these coal shifters for which I can find no further info:

     Out of Wilcoe (Welch)    on main line, one shifter east, one shifter west

     Out of Auville (Yaeger)   on main line, one shifter east, one shifter west

     Out of Williamson           five shifters, one on Buchanan Branch to Rait, the others on main line and branches as far east as Gilbert

      Out of Weller                 four shifters east on Buchanan Branch and Dismal Creek Branch

                                            one shifter on Levisa Branch

                                            one shifter to top of hill at Rait to serve mines in that territory

Can anyone tell me the names, calling times and limit for any of these? 


Were there also one or two turns to take coal loads out of Weller to top of hill at Rait?


Thank you!
