I think you may be correct.  Rohrer Mines showed up as a location on the 
W-S line in the early 20's.  This location was north of the Castle Rock 
Mine Branch.

First 3 blocks are O&P station numbers and the block before the name is 
miles from Roanoke. This would indicate that cars could be billed from 
N&W origin Rohrer Mines. At least in the early 20's.
